Malaysian Chinese Association Politics a Year Later: Crisis of Political Legitimacy

posted on 2023-05-18, 09:04 authored by James ChinJames Chin
This paper looks at the politics of the Malaysian Chinese Association, the main party representing the Chinese community, in the ruling Barisan Nasional, one year after the March 2008 general election. Recent developments over the last few months indicate that the party has lost its political legitimacy. The paper argues that the crisis of political legitimacy can be traced back to the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu and the introduction of the New Economic Policy in 1971.
