Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Utilizing the Chinese education movement\u2014arguably Malaysia\u2019s longest-running social movement\u2014as its case study, this presentation examines the persistence of a\u00a0minority\u00a0social movement despite facing considerable constraints imposed by a majority-dominated non-liberal democratic state.\u00a0Two important players of this movement,\u00a0the United Chinese School Committees\u2019 Association (Dongzong<\/em>) and the United Chinese Schoolteachers\u2019 Association (Jiaozong<\/em>) were established in the backdrop of Malayan nation formation stage during the 1950s. Over the years,\u00a0both\u00a0Dongzong\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Jiaozong<\/em>\u00a0have survived a host of challenges from many quarters, and have endured for six decades while many other movements have long since been disbanded. In this presentation, I will highlight two factors that have been crucial to the movement\u2019s endurance. Firstly, I will examine the unique\u00a0structured mobilization system within the Chinese education movement that has effectively linked movement communities at the school, local, state, and national levels. These strong links have been important for\u00a0solidifying the movement\u2019s organizational efforts in facing state-imposed constraints and suppression. Secondly, I will also analyse the roles of the professional and full-time\u00a0executive branch at the movement headquarters that has developed over time to fulfill the everyday operational needs of the movement.<\/p>\n
