| description | This paper explores a series of key dilemmas associated with the nation-state project in Malaysia
and the threats to this project posed by elements of the nee-liberal globalisation in the post-
September 11thperiod (S11). This post S11 period created a series of opportunities and dilemmas
for the Malaysian state and was also characterized by a series of tensions as domestic political
developments clashed with ambitions towards embracing nee-liberal globalisation. Political
struggles featured attempts by the government parties to balance the tensions and between
longstanding developmental modernist policies designed to position Malaysia and a
simultaneous process of maintaining a commitment to the progressive Islamisation of everyday
life in Malaysia. This paper discusses these issues in the context of observing the social, cultural
and political tensions around the teaching of English and policies that proposed the teaching of
science and mathematics in Malaysian schools and universities. |
