Title: Timely Critique of Malaysia's Socio-economic Dilemma
Product review: Thrilled to find a book that is so well written and reader friendly. This timely book not only highlights Malaysia's race relations and the shortcomings of its economic policies, but also offers refreshingly commonsensical solutions. One wonders why Malaysian leaders have not thought of them.This book is obviously a response to the original "The Malay Dilemma," written by Mahathir Mohammad in 1970. Mahathir is now Malaysia's present Prime Minister and this book takes a critical look at his social and economic policies.I particularly like the chapter that compares and contrasts Malaysia's race problems to that of America and that of the English/French conflict in Canada. Although the book focuses primarily on race relations in Malaysia, the author's perspectives and analyses could well apply to other multicultural nations.This book is a must read for those interested in race relations generally, and for students of Southeast Asian Studies.
