policy(for example Europe) but obviously not stated as "The European Supremacy" but you can see it in their governing policies. This article has bad intention written all over it and it should be delisted. This article is not neutral as it was claimed to be as the negative opinions outweigh the positive ones. To support my claims, if one research the history of Malaysia and the Malays thoroughly, one will understand why the New Economic Policy(NEP) was instated after the May 13th riot and the separation of Singapore from Malaysia. Lately there were a controversial research by Asean Strategy and Leadership Institute(ASLI) that claimed that Malays in Malaysia have reached more than 45% of the economic pie. This research was then pulled back by the institute's director as it was based on a loose fact findings and was not thorough enough. Loose enough as it stated that all Government Linked Companies(GLC) as Bumiputra companies when the facts are that the majority are not. In short, this article never did reached the standard required of such research. Another research, this time by the governement(I am aware that certain parties will have claims that anything done by the government is not fair, biased and dishonest but I'll take my chances anyway) showed that Malays only owned 18% of the current economic pie. The rest was monopolised by the Chinese and there's small part for Indian and other races. Let me state my opinion again that this article is biased and did not shows the positive aspects of the issues of Malaysia itself. Personally, I would like to invite all non-Malaysians who had a hand in this article or agreed completely with it to come to Malaysia and see for yourself the real situation. I hope this article will be re-written so that it will not show only one side of the opinions or if not, be delisted.

explained in terms of rights to sovereignty for the settlers of the land (as in the case of settlers of British island that confirms their sovereignty over the land, or "settlers' of Englishman in what is now called the united states of America). Even if some historians that claims to experience first-hand the issues discussed, bias towards a certain ideals or tone in writing cannot be avoided. I would suggest better views or more balanced comparison in explaining how the concept is understood by people who suggest it and also by people who opposed it, with emphasis given on different views by people of different generation and how each generation perceives it. For the most part, people are too easy to allow themselves to second-guess and thus judge such sensitive issues behind a desk or in front of an article. I will not oppose if this article is judged as misleading and biased, thus could be viewed as an attempt to re-write history. But the article should not be removed, instead should present more balanced views. Even an amateur historian could see the nuances in the writing that is ambiguous in tone and easy to misleads.

2327:"It is proved that all races in Malaysia have an equal opportunity in gaining their economy status." - Really? Where is this Proof you mention? I visit Malaysia regularly and I actually see that a great deal of Racism and discrimination in the name of affirmative action still takes place on a day to day basis - Any time anyone questions this racism politically some politician almost invariably answers with veiled or open threats calling for a bloodbath. Sorry, but the blatant discrimination Ketuanan Melayu advocates is not "small advantages" and "not relevant" as you would put it - it's very relevant and very worthy of documenting here on Knowledge (XXG) where anyone on the planet who cares to access this information can access it. 989:

While this concept of supremacy seemed like a legal form of racism, it was made to harmonise the multiracial population of Malaysia. The idea is to protect the Malays while they build themselves in economy, and in return, those races that this encyclopedia labelled as aliens, were allowed to participate in politics. In the rulling coalition party itself, there is only one Malay party but supported by numbers of Chinese-led and Indian-led parties. The state of Penang (mentioned in the article) was given to Gerakan (Movement) Party to rule. I believe that the Malay Supremacy is already abolished in practice and only the remain of its spirit lives within Malaysians as a sign of respect for the Malays, who once owned the land.

2034:

observed, I am not Malay myself so I can't exactly represent their point of view perfectly. I do note that your original edits argued that ketuanan Melayu and Article 153 are equivalent; this does not seem consonant with several of the works I cited, many of which separate assistance for the Bumiputra and the ideology of racial supremacy as two different concepts. (The Reid Commission itself explicitly stated that Article 153 was meant to economically assist the Bumiputra, and stated that it was meant to reconcile their varying terms of reference which specified both equal citizenship rights and assistance for backward Malaysian communities; you may be interested in

multiracial developed countries like United States. The reason behind the discrimination policy is that the government tried to help the bumiputras so that they won't lag behind. This is actually the aftermath of British colonization, which during the British reign, the Malays are kept 'uncivilized' by the British so that the Malays wont turn against them. Actually, this also happen in United States where the native americans being isolated or ignored by the government (e.g. the californion gov.).

2557:

practical concerns are addressed, the abstract and academic concept of Ketuanan Melayu will continue to be viewed by both Malaysians and Foriegners in socio-economic, if not Marxist, terms. In any case this is not a forum in which you are entitled to argue if discrimination in Malaysia is appropriate to document or not, or whether people are right to link the two concepts or not. Instead this page is to discuss issues of article quality as it relates to adherence to Knowledge (XXG) policy.

Malaysia, needed to strengthen themselves to ensure they were successful and developed. If they are not successful and developed, then they are not tuan (masters), therefore they will be coolies. I am sure we do not want to become coolies who do not play any role in development because we are weak and not able. So when we talk about that (Malay supremacy), we mean we must be successful in many fields. It is never about ruling over others, or forcing our power upon them.

makes clear that there are a number of positive aspects to the government's policies. Did you miss the parts of the article dealing with the improvements in the country due to the NEP? (There's a mention of how the rising tide lifted all boats - the poverty rates for all races decreased substantially, while the middle classes grew.) The ASLI study isn't included in the article because it's not directly relevant - that is covered in the

908: 3497:"... 'Long' is always relative. The 1980's were a long time ago. Dinosaurs lived a long time ago. Did dinosaurs live during the 1980's? Or how long is a piece of string? So we can see that it's usually prudent to specify to which thing a relative term relates. So the long domicile of the Malays is relative to whom? I presume what was meant to be written is that the domicile is longer than that of those who are marginalised by 213: 714: 693: 526: 334: 234: 3525:? This is a genuine question as I don't have the knowledge. I'm not Malaysian and I've never been Malaysian. I also say this to show I have no personal stake in the matter. What I propose is adding a footnote to clarify that "long" is relative to the aforementioned minorities, or to replace "long" with an absolute estimate of the approximate year that Malay domicile began. 2138:

during a rally, and you also left out the part whereby the Chinese too slaughtered the Malays. This is a one sided article and a political agenda made by individuals for a one sided party. If Knowledge (XXG) wants this article, then it is an insult to Malaysia and its people. If the writer thinks his article is not racist, then make your article and your good self public.

625: 604: 464: 3596:. There's potential to debate what should stay and what should be spun out and summarised here but I would suggest that headings 2, 3, and 4 (Pre-independence; Independence and Malaysia; and 13 May and the New Economic Policy) would benefit from being condensed here and more in-depth material being moved elsewhere. Also seeing no alt text for 2673: 784: 1205:(MCA) — a communal political party. (Ye, p. 34.) Others, however, argue that the main driving force behind non-Malay involvement in Malayan politics was the increasing number of local-born non-Malays. The same report from the British Permanent Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies cited earlier said that 2137:

The article tries to re-write history, while manipulating the references. The article is seditious and misleading. You forgot to include Tun Sambathan’s remarks after the independence, and the fact that 13th May only happened in 1969. In fact, 13th May only started after the Chinese made racial slurs

1869:

I dont find any reference of the main stream media from this articles, all u ppl did was putting the anti-gov and racist ppl book into the contents, and furthermore, is small changes meaning vandalisme in wikipedia? and the title of this article should be like "all race agree with ketuanan melayu" or

1750:

I'd be rather reluctant to pile on more material in an article that is already (IMHO) quite large. The diplomatic incident was certainly notable, but not really remarkable in the long term; it doesn't illustrate a point not already in the article, and it didn't have much of an impact on the political

1739:

I do recall just about a month or so ago, there was an open diplomatic dispute ignited by Lee Kuan Yew when he singled out Malaysia and Indonesia for having policies which disadvantage the ethnic Chinese or something like that? If the media is to be trusted, I recall it also sparked another debate on

1516:

case? The Court of Appeal rejected her case to have the word "Islam" removed from her IC, on the basis that as Lina was a Malay, she could not renounce Islam. It's pretty interesting to see how religion and race are so closely linked here in Malaysia. (I apologize for the pointless point, just wanted

1484:

I think the article explains internal protest issues and such well enough. However I wonder if you have misunderstood the article. Altho there is a religious component, the issue is primarily a racial one and the religious one is just subsidiary to that. Perhaps this is difficult to understand as the

1130:

that is the europe of today, trying looking at europe during post french revolution until inter-war period. why was there a pan-slavic mevement. again statement is biased. unfair to compare without looking at the social/historical conditions of the country and the intricate link between it. must take

1072:

I don't think so - the article never explicitly (or even implicitly) compares ketuanan Melayu to apartheid or Zionism. The article mentions divisive British colonial policies that disenfranchised all Malaysians, especially the Malays, as a cause of the policies associated with ketuanan Melayu, and it

3617:

Thanks both. Although the lack of updates for the last several governments is the main issue, would also soft support some information being moved if there are more appropriate articles, as long as it doesn't compromise the quality and detail of this one. I don't think I have enough knowledge of the

1401:

From memory, the matriculation system was always in place and was always dominated by the Malays with the non-Malays usually doing STPM. Didn't the meritocracy just remove the quotas? The difference in the 2 systems obviously creates the potential for imbalance but if I'm right it's a bit misleading

1396:

His administration began the practice of "meritocracy", which Mahathir had tentatively proposed earlier. Under meritocracy, university admissions quotas were eliminated and replaced with a two-track pre-university stream; one course prepared students for the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM)

1080:

Taken as a whole, the article is careful to quote from both sides of an issue. Lee Kuan Yew is quoted quite a bit because he was the only one who ever directly challenged Malay primacy, making him a relatively important figure for this article's scope, but we are careful to quote what the government

954:

being a malaysian, i've never learnt anything much about this in 5 years of malaysian history, from form 1 to form 5. well, there is this particular issue in the textbooks, but there's never been anything about the causes of the may 13 riots.. including the cause of singapore's separation. one point

2556:

This not about some vague or abstract academic concept. Ketuanan Melayu, and the institutionalised racism it promotes goes to the very core of Malaysian society in a very practical way, and promotes racism both in favour of and to the detriment of, all of Malaysia's major ethnic groups. Until those

2506:

Thanks for your edit. As much as I've seen the discrimination against non-Malay ethnicities in Malaysia first hand, and agree that the removed content may well be accurate, it must not be backed by Original Research, must not be presented in a POV manner, and must be verifiable by reliable sources,

2372:

The overwhelming wealth of the country is siphoned off by those very few Malays in political power that serve to use this backward medieval and unashamedly racist policy to the detriment of Malaysians of all ethnicities. It's bigotry, racism, backwards and medieval. It's a disgrace to the otherwise

1918:

That the natives of Borneo were not granted Article 153 privileges is implied by footnote #112, which is the source for the constitutional amendments post-May 13. These amendments extended the previously Malay-only privileges to the natives of Sabah and Sarawak. I did not use this footnote for the

1640:

Really? Last time I checked, the British keeping the Malays "uncivilized" was one of the reasons the Malays turned on them in the first place. As far as I can tell, Native American 'isolation' is actually beneficial to them (self-government, tribal sovereignty, etc.). (Any Yanks care to comment on

1461:

I didn't knew much about Malaysia or these issues before reading this article. Knowing how other Islamic apartheid countries such as Saudi Arabia behave towards their non-Muslim minorities, it's not surprising to see these Islamic supremacist ideas in action, but it is still disgusting... So I was

1156:

As a neutral third party I find the concept itself revolting. Government sanctioned racism. To portray this as positive is an incredibly ignorant act. It problably does have some practical use from a malay's persons point of view but I believe it will weaken the malay people more then anything. It

988:

As stated in the Reid Commision that the Malay Supremacy is temporary and to be abolished, it is being revised by the ruling coalition party led by UMNO itself - the very advocate of the this political agenda. In fact, it had been revesed several times throughout the course of history of Malaysia.

1545:

Akh, akh, wrong attitude here. I like Malaysia. Malaysia, for all our disputes, sibling rivalry and arguments over rock and water, is still a heartland ally. Hell, it shares a lot of culture with Singapore. It's not about boycotts, it's about reform. If you don't know, Singapore is equally racist

2170:

Not more or less than anyone else. But they have a tendency to not like people pointing out that certain articles of their constitution are by defintion racist, not to mention the worst example of unbridled w@nk. A shame and a blight on an otherwise fantastic country, and the overall amazing and

2033:

I'm more than pleased that a historian is taking a look at this article (or was, as it were; I haven't been very active on Knowledge (XXG) so I only noticed this now). Feel free to make any corrections as appropriate. I'm not sure how the Malay point of view could be advanced further, but as you

3572:

added an "update needed" banner in August. I agree with this description: there is no information on how or if this concept is implemented post-2009. I am also concerned that some sections are very large, possibly a sign of bloating; these sections can possibly be summarized or have unnecessary

2286:

It is proved that all races in Malaysia have an equal opportunity in gaining their economy status. The Ketuanan melayu concept has been manipulated by some political parties for their own political sake. This is because from their point of view, they can be a warrior of their races if they can

1630:

wow, this article turn out to be a medium to spread hatred towards other people. You could say that the Bumiputras are discriminating against the non-bumiputra people. But remember, Malaysia is third world country, a multiracial one. Therefore, don't make a judgement by comparing Malaysia with

2397:

However, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi explained that Ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy) is not about the Malays being in a position to dominate, rule over and force their power upon other races, said Prime Minister. He said Malay supremacy meant that the Malays, as the indigenous people in

1498:

There aren't any, to answer your question. The main issue, though, is race - not religion. Religion is a subissue, although because of the close association between Malay and Muslim identity in Malaysia, one could be forgiven for being confused. Politicians often use both racial and religious

2527:

in terms of understanding the concept of ketuanan melayu as a form of nationalist supremacy, some translates it to be a form of statement that announces sovereignty instead of "supremacy", which easily bring forth negative connotations if read through the eyes of a third party observer. When

2096:

An editor just removed this template from the article. I'm not reverting yet because I'm really of two minds about this; on the one hand, it's hard to describe Malay supremacy as a form of legal discrimination, but on the other, it's certainly some sort of discrimination, if only in terms of

1045:

I don't agree with this article as it clearly stated that "The Malay Supremacy" is as bad as the Apartheid or Zionist. I am for one a malay and I think there is nothing wrong in strengthtening the claim to ownership to one's land of birth. As you can see many modern states also have the same

973:

This article clearly needs much improvement, such as sections on historical importance, further explanation on the controversy and counter-arguments against the notion, bibliography etc. In comparison to other articles listed as "good articles", this one stands as one of the poorest (even in

1353:

Thanks. I did some minor copyediting on the Malay - hope you don't mind. It's rather tedious translating, though. I'd like to rewrite things from scratch in Malay, but alas - my Malay isn't very good. (I may be good at speaking colloquial Malay, but writing is a whole different matter.)

2577:

It is stated in the article that "Ketuanan Melayu" is translated as "Malay Ownership", I believe that this is etymologically incorrect, the proper translation should be "Malay Lordship", as Tuan brings in the connotation of master or overlord, rather than a "Pemilik" (owner).

2365:

LOL - Give us a f#cking break mate. No one believes that crap, even if the bigotry required to support Ketuanan Melayu means that in order to prevent themselves from having a complete cognitive break from the dissonance involved, supporters have to overdose on Copium to believe

2076:

I have fixed the problems noted with my edits- (ie, visible name signing and spelling.) Fyi, there were also many spelling errors in the original text- I have fixed them up to the first three paragraphs which was the section I originally edited. The rest needs spell check.

2000:

This article is not neutral and is quite obviously slanted to the Chinese-Malay perspective. That the article is written by a non-academic member of the ethnic group ostensibly targeted by the policies noted in the article, is extremely problematic in terms of neutrality.

1644:

Anyways, my beef isn't really with the government-instituted race-based preferences, or even with the fact that some Malays (particularly the politicians) think they have some kind of God-given right to said inequalities, it's the idea that we Chinese/Indian/other minority

1207:"Those who have been born in Malaya themselves, or whose children have been born there... state that in a great many cases those concerned have never seen the land of their origin and they claim that their children and their children's children should have fair treatment." 1966:

There is no policy that subscription-only web news content should be accessible; you need to buy a newspaper to read it, so if you're going to ban online newspapers that require you to buy them as inaccessible, don't permit citations of meatspace non-free newspapers

2119:

Atm, Im leaning towards removing the template as the definition of KM does not directly indicate form of discrimination. If it was NEP, or something like that then yes. For this article maybe we can just put some relevant categories on discrimination here.

1226:

Actually, it is relevant, since the MCA was the first to challenge the idea that only the Malays could be sovereign over Malaya. I put this back in the article some time ago with hopefully a few sentences that made the importance of this paragraph clearer.

1275:

A bit OT I know but I just came across this and I'd have to say well done! To be honest, I never expected a Malaysian article especially one on something like this to make FA grade anytime soon. Malaysia boleh :-P Let's just hope it survives November 4th!

1341:

BTW, I began the translation to the Malay wiki. I only did the intro and given that it took me 4 hours or so for that I don't think I'll be doing any more but we at least have something for when this is featured. Although the French wiki did beat us :-P

1812:

Since this got on the main page, it's been facing a whirlpool and tempests of highly charged and polemic users who subvert the article one way or another. Mainly the problem right now is bad grammar. It's changing faster than we can manage it.

1880:

I think the reason that there's no reference to main stream media is because Malaysian press is not allowed to publish politically and racially sensative articles. Also, very few foreign press seem to be interested in Malaysian politics.

2461:

These guys are now in the news for half a year now, and this article hasn't mentioned anything about it? I'm beginning to think this page no longer deserves the featured article title because it's no longer up-to-date with the times. -

1870:"Malay is the master of Malaysia" , i think the second one is better, since the ketuanan melayu is malay word,it can only be use by malay, if the non-malaysian should use english,eversince they prefer to english better than malay.-- 1764:

It may be notable that this issue remains volatile in current contexts, thou. And I believe the tense climate as a result of this remark was made worse when that report on the ethnic economic dominance appears not too long

955:

to say though, i've been skeptically thinking if the government's trying to censor/confuse the issue from the education syllabus, as a way to brainwash the newer batch of generation after 1969 that nep is a justification.

1431:

I notice the form "ketuanan Melayu" is used throughout the article. Is this correct? If so, should a disclaimer stating the first letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions be added to the top of the article?

1583:

This article is categorised as racism and included in a template about racism yet "racist" is only mentioned once briefly in the article and "racism" never. This discrepancy should be resolved one way or another.

As a historian of Singapore and Malaysia, I feel this article needs some substantial revision to felect a more neutral and well-rounded stance. I have begun to edit the first paragraph.
