Challenges and Prospects of the Student Integration Plan for Unity
Noriyuki Segawa
Ethnic Relations at School in Malaysia ‘In multi-ethnic Malaysia the desire to achieve national unity has occupied the national psyche since the May 1969 ethnic violence. The struggle to achieve unity has continued in a situation of social cohesion. However, a number of “social deficits” remain. Each has to be resolved through a conscious construction of various “integration platforms” grounded in the principles of bargaining, negotiation and mediation. The “Student Integration Plan for Unity (RIMUP)” is one of the top- down integration platforms within the social deficit sphere of education. The book Ethnic Interaction and National Integration in Malaysia: Challenges and Prospects of the Student Integration Plan for Unity is the first ever that examines the content, implementation and challenges confronting this admirable effort. It is based on a painstaking detailed research. It is a must read for those interested in the theme “education and national unity”, with Malaysia as a case study’. —A.B. Shamsul, Distinguished Professor and UNESCO Chair (Communications & Social Cohesion), The National University of Malaysia, Malaysia
