马来西亚消费者组织解析

A Study on the Malaysian Consumers' NGOs

民族是多种多样的，民族社会也是多样的，而孕育其中的民族社团组织更是千差万别。在马来西亚这个多民族社会中，各民族社会利益分化程度较高，社会利益表达渠道有多有寡，国家政权对各种民族社团的宽容程度也不一样，所以各民族的社团组织在历史渊源、发展规模、活动内容以及与政府关系等方面都存在较大的差异。从非政府组织的角度考察马来西亚民族社团组织的发展会丰富马来西亚公民社会的研究内容。

Malaysia is a multinational country with three main ethnic groups and several indigenous peoples. The development of NGOs among these ethnic groups is uneven. Symbolic of the lopsided characteristics of NGOs are the activities of consumer organizations, a type of NGOs which boast of long histories, and rich and extensive experiences. This paper looks at the emergence of the consumers＇ groups, and their relationship with the state. Then three case-studies are offered to illustrate the characteristics of Malaysian consumers＇ organizations.
