Malaysia’s Foreign Policy, The First<br />
Fifty Years<br />
Alignment, Neutralism, Islamism<br />
Johan Saravanamuttu<br />
This book captures Malaysia’s foreign<br />
policy over the first fifty years and<br />
beyond since the date of the country’s<br />
formal independence in 1957. The author<br />
provides “macro-historical” narratives of<br />
foreign policy practices and outcomes<br />
over distinct time periods under the<br />
tenures of the five prime ministers.<br />
One chapter delves into relations with<br />
immediate neighbouring states and<br />
another chapter analyses the political economy of foreign<br />
policy. A postscript deals with the transition of foreign<br />
policy beyond the fifth decade. The concluding chapter<br />
suggests that Malaysian middlepowermanship has been<br />
in the making in foreign policy practice being particularly<br />
evident since the Mahathir years. Employing a criticalconstructivist<br />
approach throughout the study, the author<br />
posits that foreign policy should be appreciated as<br />
outcomes of socio-political-economic processes embedded<br />
within a Malaysian political culture.<br />

Mengharungi Titik Noktah<br />
Dr. Mohd Nasir Hashim<br />
Semboyan tempelak..menggerunkan<br />
jiwa-jiwa nan resah. Pegawai-pegawai,<br />
konco-konco dan jentolak mula<br />
mengganas. Maka tumbanglah rumah<br />
peneroka bandar…satudemi satu…demi<br />
satu. Anak-anak berteriak…terpisah dari<br />
keluarga tersayang. Kelibat Mak Minah…<br />
berselendang coklat bergerak pantas<br />
mengawal keadaan. Apakah rahsia Mak<br />
Minah? Wira-wira muda, ibu-ibu dan<br />
warga tua mendedahkan budaya pincang..beracuan<br />
penindasan yang menghancurkan kemanusiaan dan alam<br />
sejagat. Namun pemaju mengerahkan agensi-agensi<br />
pemerintah dan konco-konco keparat. Cuba memaksa titik<br />
noktah pada perjuangan. Hamzah, Samad dan rakan-rakan<br />
menyusun ideologi baru keyakinan diri…bertakhta di hati.<br />
Walaupun ISA sudah menanti patah tumbuh tetap berganti.<br />

Cheng Ho Muslim Tionghua<br />
Misteri Perjalanan Muhibah di Nusantara<br />
Prof. Kong Yuanzhi<br />
Banyak orang yang tidak mengenal<br />
Cheng Ho daripada yang mengenal<br />
Cheng Ho. Catatan perjalanan muhibah<br />
Cheng Ho ini diangkat kembali adalah<br />
untuk bahan kajian ataupun renungan<br />
bagi generasi yang akan datang<br />
bahwa pada abad ke-14 telah ada<br />
seorang bahariwan asal Tiongkok yang<br />
telah berlayar ke Asia Afrika dengan<br />
memimpin kurang ebih 208 kapal yang<br />
tidak tertandingi oleh pelaut mana pun<br />
sampai saat ini. Tujuan sebenarnya Cheng Ho melakukan<br />
pelayaran ini selain bersilaturahmi juga ingin menyebarkan<br />
dan memperkenalkan agama Islam kepada penduduk<br />
setempat bahwa Islam merupakan agama yang rasional dan<br />
universal.<br />

Betwixt & Between<br />
Woo Kam Chau<br />
This is British Malaya in the mid-1950s,<br />
where the British administration is<br />
preparing to hand power over to the local<br />
Malays, whilst guarding against communist<br />
terrorists, hatred and racial violence that<br />
threatened independence (Merdeka) and<br />
democracy for the colony. The Chinese<br />
and Indian immigrants, who live and work<br />
‘betwixt and between’ the indigenous<br />
Malays, feel ‘betrayed’ because, after<br />
Merdeka, they will virtually become second class citizans.<br />
Many have died fighting the Japanese during the war and<br />
the legacy continues to haunt them. Qin, son of a Chinese<br />
immigrant villager, and his friends, encounter many social<br />
conditions and glimpse personal histories of a range of<br />
characters in the village and the city of Kuala Lumpur<br />
where they study. Qin gets involved in their problems and is<br />
seduced by the wife of Supervisor Tan. The pregnancy that<br />
follows causes Qin to question the wife, Qui Ling, about the<br />
paternity of the child, with disastrous consequences…<br />
