| description | Modernization has led to changes
in people’s lifestyle and their
worldviews. The traditional form
of life was governed by a set of
community-validated patterns
of behaviour with individuals
assuming a relatively fixed role
in society. Modernity led to
the replacement of communal solidarity with interest
associations. It encourages migration from rural areas to
urban centres and makes people insecure due to the loss
of family ties. Malaysia is also affected by its march towards
industrialization and modernization which gave rise to a
sizable new middle class. The traditional ways of life of the
Malays have been affected. Nevertheless, the distinctive
cultural traits endure over long periods of time albeit with
the active reinvention and reincorporation of certain traits of
modernization. To what extent has modernization changed
the Malaysian landscape and how much their inhabitants
especially the Kampung Malays have embraced this line
of progress. How has this development impacted the rural
grassroots level individuals? The traditions that survived
after these tumultuous changes are the focus of this book
which is based upon a socio-economicand religious survey
carried out on selected samples and thus renders it original
in the empirical sense. |
