Abstract
The Malaysian society, one of the successful and managed multi-ethnic societies, is
replete of imbalances and there still underlie the racial and ethnic disproportions in
geographical dwellings, educational and professional fields, and economic and political
roles. The modern racial relation in Malaysia is the legacy of pre-colonial and colonial
period of history dating back to fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The unstable
demographic balance, the unrestricted immigration policy or the policy of divide and
rule by the colonial masters contributed besides other reasons toward the troubled
relations between ethnic communities of Malaysia- Malays, Chinese, Indians, and
others. But the way the respective Malaysian governments have managed such sour
relationship in their socio-economic and political spheres is the lesson that all multiethnic states can learn from.
