Malaysian politics, 1968-1970 : Crisis and response part 1

---

In this book, Jerome R. Bass investigates the political crisis in Malaysia between 1968 and 1970, a period marked by ethnic strife, communal tensions, and the collapse of traditional support for the ruling coalition. Bass examines the dynamics of the 1969 general election, the May 13 riots, and the institutional responses taken by Malaysia's political elite that subsequently reshaped the national power structure. He highlights how the government used state intervention through policy and constitutional reform to stabilize the political situation, including the adaptation of political parties, the use of an inclusive cabinet, and the establishment of cross-ethnic coalitions. Bass also analyzes the role of key actors such as UMNO and the opposition in responding to the crisis, as well as how changes in socio-economic policies targeted communal imbalances as the foundation for long-term stability. With a historical, empirical, and theoretical approach, this study provides important insights into how post-colonial states manage internal conflicts and build legitimacy in pluralistic societies.
