Commensurate with an emerging demand for social mobility in Malaysia has been an increasing governmental focus on racial/ethnic social equality. Tensions focused on social outcomes associated with racial affinity have created deep-seated ill feelings across ethnic boundaries in Malaysia. The governmental plan to alleviate social inequalities has been massive equity measures based on the notion of preferential treatment as a positive force seeking social equality. The major focus of governmental policy has been racially based preferential policy in the education sector.

520 $a Commensurate with an emerging demand for social mobility in Malaysia has been an increasing governmental focus on racial/ethnic social equality. Tensions focused on social outcomes associated with racial affinity have created deep-seated ill feelings across ethnic boundaries in Malaysia. The governmental plan to alleviate social inequalities has been massive equity measures based on the notion of preferential treatment as a positive force seeking social equality. The major focus of governmental policy has been racially based preferential policy in the education sector.
520 $a This study has focused on the student perspective as a way to better understand the pushes and pulls that occur in a developing country troubled by heavy-handed educationally focused social engineering policy. As a point of inquiry, twenty Chinese-Malaysians attending private college, American university transfer programs, were interviewed in Malaysia. The interviews sought the Chinese-Malaysian students' perspectives on reasons for their enrollment in a private college program.
520 $a Each student was individually interviewed throughout a 2-month period in Malaysia during the summer of 1998. In addition, an extensive document review was conducted of country specific materials including: newspapers, government records and specialized texts. In addition informal interviews were conducted in Malaysia with professors of education, members of the business community and educational administrators. The student interviews were recorded and those data were transcribed. These interview transcripts and documents served as the data that were inductively analyzed through a constant comparative process of unitizing and categorizing. From this process themes emerged which served to represent the data and provide the foundation for pattern analysis and interpretation. Results indicated that the students feel they have been unjustly treated by the government placing undue burden upon them through not being able to matriculate in a fair fashion into the tax supported Malaysian post-secondary system of education. This study shows a drastic contrast with the typical documents published on education in Malaysia. The study further indicates that the massive equity program initiated following independence has served to create great divisions based on ethnic lineage rather than bring the diverse groups in Malaysia closer together.
