The assumptions underlying these approaches will be examined in an attempt to evaluate their applicability, their usefulness in explaining Malayan/Malaysian society. This paper is not offered as a definitive statement on the subject but presented with the objectives of stimulating some consideration of a much neglected area and advancing theory construction.
