Rule by race-based parties has ended in Malaysia, with the steep decline of the once-mighty United Malays National Organisation (Umno) and the decimation of its coalition partners, the Malaysian Chinese Association and the Malaysian Indian Congress. This phenomenon raises questions over the future of the country’s race-based politics. The absence of a dominant party for ethnic Malays in the new coalition government, coupled with the meteoric rise of racially mixed parties, has induced expectations of a matching policy reset – especially among non-Malays and international watchers. However, shifting away from racial party politics is one thing, phasing out race-based preferential policies is another thing altogether. Dear Editor, We refer to the above statement that Malaysian policy must not base on race only and must treat every country the same as Malaysians!
