The PAP dissatisfaction on the Malays’ special right issue had become the factor that contribute to the tragedy, where they had claimed that others races right have set aside and have been isolated from justice. Besides, the various rights that Malays have such as the Malays special right, citizenship rights, language, and education have raise their anger towards Malays.

the factors that lead to the crisis ??

~There are several reasons that lead the13 may tragedy to occur which are the Bias treatment by the Japanese army, Subdivision policy and British colonial order, Different educational backgrounds, Political parties disputes, Dissatisfaction against the Malay rights and Malay as the national language.

(but for this entry i will just go through the four factors, while for the rest two i will continue with next entry) ''^-^''

1. The Bias treatment by the Japanese army

The bias treatment during the Japanese colonization in our country has made sense towards the Malaysian citizen especially the Chinese people. This is because during that time, the people were treat differently by them. The Chinese were treated badly rather than Malay people. The war that happened between Chinese and japan back then become the reasons of the unfair treatment towards the Chinese people at that time. So, these unfair treat lead to hateful and anger feeling towards Malay people.

2. Subdivision policy and British colonial order

The British colonial policy or the subdivision concept or in malay we known as “Dasar pecah dan perintah” that been practice by the British in our country had made a racial gap between society from all races especially in economic aspect. For instance, the Chinese people who live in cities will involve in business and also in mines area where they were a miner and become the assets in the economy. While, the malay people live in rural area such as a farmer or fishermen. Indians people were involved in the estate area, where they become a laborers and government estate employees. This shows that the economic position for malays and Indians are more self-sufficiency. The different economic pattern at that time had created a gap between them and lead to economic imbalance.

3. Different educational backgrounds

The educational system during the British colonial had raised the dissatisfaction feeling between the societies. The different system that has been practiced is education base on the race, where malay, Chinese and Indians get a different education. Malay people were get into malay school and will learn on writing, reading and calculation skills. While, Chinese and Indians will learn base on their origin country where the texts books and teachers are been brought from china and India. So, this have strengthen the ethnic distinct. Thus, the English school was only accessible for Chinese and Indians who lived in the cities.

4. Political parties disputes

In the 1964 elections, the people action party/ parti tindakan rakyat (PETIR) or PAP Singapore participated in the election and Had put nine candidates, even there had been an agreement between Tunku and Lee Kuan Yew(PAP leader) that they will not participate in that election. However, after the declaration that MCA will be maintain in that alliance party by Tunku, PAP who fail to get into the alliance had change its campaign pattern and start to attacking UMNO and the Malay. They start to questioning and raising on certain issue such as the special position of the malay, language, and the Malays native status. Then, after lose in the election, PAP established konvensyen perpaduan Malaysia (KPM), accompanied by parti progresif rakyat and parti rakyat bersatu Sarawak where they had spread the slogan “the rights of Malaysian Malaysia” (Malaysian Malaysia). The intention of this slogan is to eliminate the Malays special rights and native status.

Brief introduction of the tragedy

For the introduction of The 13 may tragedy or known as the racial riots tragedy, I will explains a little bit on how it was happened. The 13 may tragedy is one of the unforgettable moments in our country that leaves without answer and create a black spot in the history where it because of the demands of the different ethnic communities within the political order. The May 13 incident took place over three or four days. It happens after the general election of Malaysia when election candidates and politicians from the opposition, has raised several questions of race that related with Malaysian national language (Bahasa Melayu), the special position of Malays as “Bumiputera” and citizenship rights of non- Malay. Whereas, they (the Chinese) were no longer satisfied with the economic domination and wanted a protective share of the political power.

Therefore, this gave the opportunity and benefits for the politicians to win the elections. It happens when the Chinese Democratic Action Party (DAP) and the Malaysian People’s Movement Party (Gerakan) wins and made a march for celebrating the victory in Batu, Selangor. The march had raised a misunderstanding and anger of Malay people in that area where majority of them are from the opposite parties and this is where it all begins, “the crisis between the races”. :)

therefore, the objectives of the blog regarding this topic are :

To get a further explanation and information on the racial riots that happen in our country.
To become a lesson so that we would not repeat the same mistake again that can ruin our country.

for further explaination and a clear vision on this tragedy :
