Research Abstract

This study focused on Chinese education in Sabah and Sarawak, East Malaysia, and examined the characteristic features which differed from Peninsular Malaysia, and analyzed both the historical changes and the present situation.
The language of education (used in class) always turns into a political issue in a multi-lingual and multi-ethnic society like Malaysia. One of the terms under which Sabah and Sarawak participated in the formation of the new Federation of Malaysia in 1963 concerned the problem of the official language (Sabah and Sarawak wished to retain continuous use of English). Despite this condition, a policy of assimilation of the Malay language advanced rapidly in the second half of the 1960s creating a problem among the non-Malay Muslim community in Sabah, and became a serious political issue.
I examined the response of the Chinese community in both states, with respect to the history of Chinese education there, and the especially rapid change in education policy, which followed participation in the new Federation of Malaysia, and what the change in national educational policy for the second time in the 1990s, brought to the Chinese community. To show this clearly is to also clarify both the history and the present condition of the Chinese community in Sabahand Sarawak.
