Life wasnt easy in the old days. Nevertheless, people were contented with what they were. Before theyre outcast, let us track back the history of Malays civilization. Most of them do not know much about their origin. Some may think that they originate from the Javanese or Bugis of Indonesia or from Yemen, the descendants of Arab traders, or some from Thailand, especially those from the northern states. Malays generally are peace-loving people. They respect the elderly and vice versa. They have high regards for the elites and the royals. They are patience, faithful, and law abiding. Nevertheless, they are the sleeping tigers if provoked.

Beyond Mahathir
The planned retirement in October 2003 of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia since July 1981, has occasioned many instant assessments of the Mahathir legacy. In contrast, this book takes a hard look at the long-term social transformation behind the dramatic politics of the Mahathir era. It ranges over issues of political economy, ideology, interethnic relations, the challenge of Islam and the complexities of leadership transition. Khoo Boo Teik explains how the Mahathir regimes's mid-1990's Asian values triumphalism was replaced by the turn-of-the-millenium pessimism and the spectre of a second Malay dilemma. He aims to bring to life Mahathir's predicaments, the contradictions in Anwar Ibrahim's chequered career, and the cultural imperatives behind the historic rise of the Alternative Front's rainbow coalition. The result is an informed lay reader's guide to the momentous, disturbing and even inspiring events which overturned easy assumptions about ethnic politics in Malaysia, tested the regime's economic management, revealed the vitality of cultural revolt, and raised fundamental questions about the directions of the country post-Mahathir.
