Unlike most standard works on Malaysian politics, which tend to treat Chinese politics as one component part in the complex mosaic of multi-racial politics in Malaysia, this book focuses on the unique configuration of Chinese political development within that mosaic. Highlighting the importance of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in engaging the active participation of Malaysians of Chinese descent in the mainstream politics of their adopted homeland, the author charts that organization's history, social and ideological background, and pivotal role in the events surrounding the defeat of communist insurgency and the attainment of independence.

Malaysia's 13th general election, held 5 May 2013, saw an unprecedentedly close race between the incumbent Barisan Nasional (National Front, BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (People's Alliance, Pakatan) coalitions. For the first time in Malaysian history, a challenger coalition not only kept the BN from regaining the two-thirds parliamentary super-majority it had lost in the previous election, in 2008, but eked out a slim majority of the popular vote. While many Malaysian election is a big event, this one in particular merits close scrutiny. The present volume offers evidence and analysis with which to probe both the merits of common interpretations of who voted how, and why, and to suggest new readings on Malaysian politics.

As Sarawak evolved from a British colonial outpost to statehood in the Federation of Malaysia, social and political stability was threatened by communist insurgency. This book explains how communism was nurtured among the youth of Sarawak's ethnic Chinese community from the early 1940s, how it grew into a powerful guerrilla movement that survived for decades, and how the movement was finally overcome through an amnesty in 1990.
