📝 SYNOPSIS:

A comprehensive and uncompromising analysis of the structural roots of racism in Malaysia. In this Updated New Edition, Dr. Kua Kia Soong—a lifelong human rights defender and social critic—examines the persistence of racial discrimination in the country's institutions, policies, and social fabric.

Dr. Kua traces the historical evolution of "race" as a political construct in Malaysia, from the divide-and-rule tactics of the colonial era to the post-independence implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP). He argues that institutionalized racism continues to hinder national unity, economic efficiency, and the realization of a truly democratic society.

This edition includes updated data and reflections on recent political developments, including the rise of "identity politics" in the digital age. By documenting instances of discrimination in education, employment, and the law, Dr. Kua challenges Malaysians to confront these systemic issues and work toward a future based on meritocracy, equality, and human rights. It is an essential, if challenging, read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Malaysian identity.
