With Malaysia in the throes of sweeping political change, academic turned political activist and presently, Senator from Selangor state to the Parliament, Dr Syed Husin Ali traces how ethnicity has been manipulated, since Independence, by Malaysian politicians for their own gain to the detriment of the masses. In articles spanning more than three decades, collected for the first time here, he dissects the origins, fallacies and destructive nature of communal politics in Malaysia and examines the issue of class versus race. It is time, he argues, for an end to race-based politics. This ebook is from the new and updated edition with new chapters from 2008.
