DAP Forum on "Higher Education In Malaysia - A Worsening Crisis"?

Democratic Action Party Is The Correct Political Choice To Improve The Economic Well-being And Democratic Freedoms Of Malaysians. My identification with the principles and objectives of the DAP is related to my own analysis of the nature of politics in the Malaysian society and the larger question of what should be done. My own writings, speeches and presentations on the nature of Malaysian politics have been primarily focused on the need to go beyond the narrow ethnic and religious practices that are currently practised by the Barisan Nasional government. In a more particular sense, the ideology of Malay state racism as practiced by UMNO and supported by opportunistic political parties such as the MCA, Gerakan and MIC have contributed to the rise in ethnic and religious polarization. It has led to a situation where Malaysians, both Malay and non-Malays, have been denied the space for democratic participation. Malay state hegemony perpetrated to satisfy the financial and corporate interests of a tiny group of politicians in both UMNO and other BN component parties like MCA, MIC, Gerakan and SUPP have done irreparable damage to the progress and well-being of Malaysian society. BN leaders have enriched themselves at the expense of poor Malays, poor Chinese, poor Indians, poor Ibans, poor Kadazans and poor Orang Aslis.
