THE CHALLENGE
Mahathir Mohamad
Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's fourth
Prime Minister, is known for his original ideas and incisive plain
speaking. Both traits are grippingly evident in this book where
he takes a hard look at certain ways of thinking and living that are
vying for supremacy in the modern world in general, and Malaysia's
Malay community in particular. With characteristic directness
Dr. Mahathir explodes fallacies and exposes distortions concerning
Islam, communism, freedom and discipline, and the concerns of this
world and the next.

THE ETHNIC
CHAMELEON
Contemporary Multiracial Politics in Malaysia
Dr Oo Yu Hock
The racial riots in May 1969 violently
replaced the cultural pluralism of post-independent Malaysia with
a new era of increasingly ethnocentric articulations and affirmative
public policies. Seemingly, the trend before the October 1990
General Elections suggests a revival of some forms of cultural pluralism.
The chameleon-like nature of Malaysian politics merely camouflage
the real problems of race relations and national integration in Malaysia.
The author examines the main issues in Malaysia's complex political
landscape.

DOMINANCE?
An Analysis of Singapore's 1991 General
Elections
Bilveer Singh
On August 31, 1991, Singaporeans
went to the polls for the island republic's twelfth General Elections.
Although prior to that, it had been confirmed that the PAP would again
form the government, to the informed, however, this was to be Singapore's
most nerve-racking elections yet. The winds of change had started
blowing since 1981 when an Opposition member was elected into Parliament.

capable of tearing away even the strangle hold of the PAP on local
politics.
