Abstract

Malaysia, as a multiethnic country, belongs to the Upper Middle Income Countries of Southeast Asia. From a colonial and post-colonial background, Malaysia emerged as an Asian economic Tiger during the very singular momentum of the New Economic Policy 1971-1990. This notable policy dealt with foreign investment and trade openness in order to build comparative advantage in the electronics sector. But the Malaysian New Economic Policy has been even more distinctive and successful because of Economic Planning and of the growing number of State-owned companies. Industrialization has been launched together with the objective of ?restructuring Malaysian society?: the NEP intended to correct the structural imbalance between ethnic groups through affirmative action toward the Malay Muslim population. This paper goes back to the political origins of today?s emerging Malaysia.
