The focus of the analysis is on Thailand’s attitude towards Vietnamese refugees as well as the steps taken to return the refugees to Vietnam. This research uses qualitative methods, particularly document analysis, emphasising the use of British official government documents, newspapers that were published in South Vietnam and Thailand, books, and scientific articles. The findings of this study show that the presence of Vietnamese refugees during the Vietnam War created restlessness among the leaders and people of Thailand. Apart from security issues, their presence also invites social problems in Thailand. At the time, the refugee repatriation effort was carried out successfully. Still, it was thwarted by the presence of a second more enormous wave following the failure of South Vietnam to defend its country. This caused the issue to continue until the 1990s,...

Strategi mengikat negara-negara baru merdeka di Asia Tenggara melalui kaedah bantuan ekonomi, ketenteraan, teknikal dan menubuhkan pakatan bersama untuk menyekat pengaruh Komunis di rantau ini berjaya memperkukuhkan ideologi demokrasi yang di perjuangkannya. Dasar Amerika Syarikat di rantau ini berubah mengikut perkembangan di Asia Timur dan kemudiannya krisis Vietnam. Kejayaan Komunis menguasai China telah mengubah sikap Amerika Syarikat terhadap Jepun dan seterusnya Asia Tenggara. Perkembangan di Korea juga telah memaksa kuasa tersebut memperkukuhkan kekuatan tentera di Indochina. Perang Vietnam pula telah menyebabkan Amerika Syarikat cuba mengambil hati masyarkat di Asia Tenggara dengan mengusahakan kemerdekaan kepada mereka. Kaedah ini boleh dianggap sebagai satu kejayaan Amerika ...

Fokus perbincangan menjurus kepada tiga aspek iaitu perubahan dasar ketenteraan British di Timur Suez, reaksi Malaysia dan kesan perubahan pimpinan Britain terhadap rantau ini khususnya Malaysia. Artikel ini turut menganalisis kesan perkembangan di Asia Tenggara terhadap dasar Britain yang turut memberi impak kepada Malaysia. Pengunduran tentera Amerika Syarikat dari Vietnam Selatan yang dikenali sebagai era Vietnamisasi, memberi kesan yang besar kepada dasar negara anggota The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) di Asia Tenggara. Britain yang merupakan anggota pertubuhan tersebut juga tidak terkecuali daripada perubahan tersebut. Pakatan ketenteraannya dengan Malaysia yang terjalin sejak 19 September 1957 iaitu The Anglo-Malayan Defence Agreement (AMDA) mula dinilai semula berikutan perubahan dasar ketenteraan di timur Suez yang diumumkan pada 1969. Ini menimbulkan reaksi darip...

Persidangan ini disertai negara-negara Komunis dan anti- Komunis yang bertujuan untuk mewujudkan sebuah kesatuan dalam kalangan negara-negara berkecuali dalam menentang usaha penjajahan Barat selepas Perang Dunia Kedua. Pengisytiharan Tunku Abdul Rahman berhubung cadangan pembentukan Malaysia pada tahun 1961 yang menggabungkan Tanah Melayu, Singapura, Sabah dan Sarawak, telah menimbulkan berbagai reaksi anggota persidangan tersebut. Kepelbagaian reaksi ini berkait rapat dengan kepentingan dari aspek strategik, keanggotaan dalam pertubuhan pertubuhan tertentu, persempadanan, ideologi dan lain-lain. Reaksi sesetengah negara anggota ini kelihatan mengatasi "Semangat Bandung" yang menjadi pegangan mereka sejak tahun 1954.

The struggle of the founding fathers of Malaysia led to the birth of an independence nation by 31 August 1957 as Tanah Melayu and became Malaysia after the joining of Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore on 1963. This article was written to analyse the experience of the coalition of multi-racial leaders in the struggle of independence using the historical approach. The understanding on this coalition will contribute to the new approach for the next generation to appreciate the concept of multiracial coalition as a fundamental for the future of Malaysian identity. Based on unity and harmony, inter-racial relations can be nurtured and always be preserved for the sake of an independent Malaysia. Failure to understand the past will cause a nation to fall back into the arena of racial strife and riots that will not benefit but harm the country. The implication is the collapse of an independent nation that was built together. Therefore, all aspects of life, be it political, economic, and social, should be nurtured towards the success of Rukun Negara (National Principles) by appreciating the history in building a new Malaysia.

The time taken is to see how effective this policy is in the 35 years of its implementation. The policy was introduced in 1983 and continues to be implemented today as it benefits outweighs the negative impact on the nation and the people. In general, the introduction of the Privatization Policy has also served to reduce the government's financial burden especially when the country is in an economic downturn, improve efficiency and diversification of revenue, encourage economic growth, efficient resource allocation and accelerate the achievement of the New Economic Policy (NEP). This study was conducted primarily using qualitative and chronological methods and was subjective. The information obtained is extracted and analyzed from primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include economic reports, Malaysian plans, Privatization Plans, Dewan Rakyat Statements and relevant government documents. The secondary sources consist of scientific journals, books and information obtained from the web site. The results show that the privatization policy implemented has positive and negative implications on the economy and the people. The privatization process also promotes the growth of the capital market and thus enhances private sector's contribution to GDP growth. Although this policy has negative implications, it is considered one of the policies that continues to play a role in shaping the country's future economic growth and development.

ASEAN was established during an era of conflict between North Vietnam, assisted by pro-comunist countries and South Vietnam supported by non-communist countries. The conflict affected the relations between North Vietnam and ASEAN. Eventhough ASEAN was a neutral organization but most of its members were anti-communist and the situation affected its relations with North Vietnam. After the unification in 1975, the communist ideologues were in control over Vietnam’s administration. After the war, there was an emergence of new crisis involving Cambodia, Laos and border conflict between Vietnam and China. To resolve the conflicts, initiatives were put forward to the three Indochina countries into ASEAN. The efforts faced many challenges due to differences in ideology. With the end of the ideo...
