论马来人"第五纵队"问题与马来亚联盟公民权计划

Malayan Fifth Column and Citizenship Plan of Malayan Ujnion

战前,英国一直执行亲马来人路线,而受到英国特殊照顾的马来人在英国人处于危难的时候"背叛"了英国人,这使英国殖民当局极为难堪,也给英国军事征服东南亚增加了不确定因素。虽然从政治和军事上讲,英国人不能允许反马来人情绪广泛流行,但英国必须慎重考虑重建马来亚殖民统治的政治基础,尤其是在英国用军事手段重新占领马来亚时能争取非马来族群的支持是非常重要的。本文认为,公民权计划的制订与"第五纵队"问题的困扰有密切关系。

The British had pursued a pro - Malay policy before the war, but the Malay betrayed the British when they were in trouble, this greatly embarrassed the British and resulted in more uncertainties for the British to conquer the Southeast Asia. Although it is politically unwise for the British to let the anti - Malay feeling spread, it is necessary for the British to reconstruct the political base for the colonial rule in the future, especially to gain the support from non - Malayan in the time of military. This study indicates that the formulation of the Malayan Union Citizenship Scheme was closely related to the Malay Fifth Column problem.
