From the Paper
"Some Chinese traders had settled in the country of Malaysia for centuries before other Chinese ethnic groups joined them in the 19th and 20th centuries. Although there has been an intermixture among the Chinese and other political minorities and the Malays as the political majority population, the Chinese have managed to preserve their cultural distinctions from the Malays, basically through religion and language. The Chinese use the Chinese language as distinguished from the Malay language and practice Buddhism, as differentiated from the Malays who are Muslim. The Chinese are grouped into the rural poor sector and the urban commercial sector, the latter being more economically capable and productive than the majority Malays. There have been these fundamental and historical conflicts between the majority Malays and the minority Chinese communities. The British ruled the peninsula and Singapore through the Chartered Company in Sabah and the Brooke family in Sarawak The Japanese Occupation made these conflicts worse during the last World War, during which the Malays sided with the Japanese against the British colonial rule and the Japanese mistreated the Chinese, who rebelled against them and formed the Malayan People?s Anti-Japanese Army or MPAJA. When Japan lost the War, the MPAJA took violent actions in establishing control over the peninsula. The Chinese rural poor sector supported it and its succeeding organization, the Malayan Communist Party or MCP, founded in 1948."

Abstract
A backwater of the Cold War since hostilities of the Korean War ended, has been the divided Korean peninsula. Since the 1990s, this issue has repeatedly captured the attention of the world, with the generally assumed rise of North Korea to the status of a nuclear power.
From the Paper
"Since the 1990s the divided Korean peninsula, which had been a backwater of the Cold War since the end of hostilities in the Korean War in the 1950s, has repeatedly captured the world's attention with the widely-assumed rise of North Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or DPRK) to the status of a nuclear power. Given the status of the current dictatorial regime of North Korea as a virtual international "pariah" state - a state in which a massive military exists side-by-side with a primitive, faltering economy and even widespread famine - its nuclear capability has dominated all discussions of its foreign relations and strategies to engage it."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Malaysian economy was doing very well with industrial growth graphs that were on the higher end of the trend and how the GDP was increasing positively, but then the sudden economic downturn caused a sudden plunge in the growth of the industries. It looks at how the construction industry, however, survived the down trend and has now started showing trends of growth and amazing future prospects, giving a lot of hope to investors and reviving consumer confidence. It shows how the construction industry is very important in the economic growth of the country due to the amount of industry linked to it.
From the Paper
"Due to the economic crisis, the industry suffered tremendously. This is because as the economy had a set back the blooming construction industry had a sudden fall and a major drop in the ever-highflying growth graph. Suddenly everything was stagnated in the construction industry and no new work was done. There were a lot of projects that were delayed due to this economic downfall. The industry had excess capacity, but not enough work for production, which caused a gap bringing the growth of the industry down. The government made several efforts to evoke the construction industry. However, the industry responded positively to the economic revival in the year 1999 as there was a GDP growth of 5.8 % and the output of the construction industry had fallen only by 5.6%."

Abstract

Thesis Statement
A Brief Background
The Economic Structure and its Solidity
From the Paper
"The Malay established the Ringitt as their national currency and through the strict control of it throughout several crisis situations has assured the nation a place in history no other nation in the region can claim. That position is one of national and international economic stability and as claimed and whether right or wrong, the strict control of the currency has been the mainstay of the economic stability. Two decades ago Malaysia began shedding the last shackles of their previous British Colonialism. The nation began to emerge from a plantation, natural resource producing economy into a competitive world of industrial modernization. This has continued at an ever-increasing pace to the point where the Malay is now a regional leader in the Knowledge Economy Age."

In a larger sense, the essay addresses the argument between capitalism vs. communism, with North and South Korea providing an ideal case study unlike any other two modern states.
From the Paper
"The end of World War II brought a long-awaited, yet all-too brief calm upon the Korean peninsula. While Korean citizens celebrated the end of Japanese colonial exploitation, a feeling of uncertainty abounded concerning the arming of the 38th Parallel, which divided the people based on ideologies many Korean citizens did not understand. For the arbitrary division was not based upon political beliefs of most of the Korean people themselves, who were mostly poor, peasant farmers. Rather, the 38th Parallel was the result of a compromise between the two new world superpowers, which emerged after World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union. To this day, the Korean peninsula stands as the last of the countries divided after the war, and as a remnant of the Cold War. For that reason, North and South Korea provide us with a very unique case study: the socialist-authoritarian government of the north and the free-market constitutional democracy of the south."

From the Paper
"This research presents a review of the recent performance and status of the Malaysian economy. Malaysia is a newly industrializing country (NIC) that suffered severe economic consequences because of the economic crisis that hit East Asia and Southeast Asia in 1997. NICs are not the same as transitional economies. Transitional economies are those economies that are in a state of transition from command economy (socialist) status to market economy status. Neither are NICs developing economies because their levels of economic development allowed them to move up to NIC status (Sercovich, 1999).

Abstract
This very comprehensive paper gives an account of the economic history of Malaysia. It begins with the pre-independence era and then goes discusses all of the major political events and policies involved in bringing the country to its current position as the third largest economy in east Asia. Mentioned are the disputes between ethnic Malays and Chinese immigrants, the successful rural development programs, the 1997 Asian economic crisis and the communist movement. The paper includes a number of clear economic tables and is well researched.
From the paper:
?It is never possible entirely to distinguish a nation?s economy from its political situation, however this may be especially true in the case of colonies and recently freed colonies because more than other governmental bodies colonial governments are founded to make the extraction of raw materials from the colony as economically efficient as possible.
This paper examines the economic development of the nation of Malaysia in the years after independence in 1957 until the present. This economic history is bound up with the country?s political development as a modern nation as well, and so to the extent that the two are integrated they will be both considered in this paper while the emphasis remains on the economic sector.?

Abstract
This paper addresses the manner in which knowledge on first and second language acquisition and learning, can contribute to a better, effective teaching of second languages, taking the Malaysian native speaker into consideration.. According to the paper, research indicates that almost a quarter of the kindergarten through twelfth grade students in the United States cannot function academically in English, and thus have been termed "English Language Learners" (ELL).
From the Paper
"A 2001 study conducted by Hawkins investigated the effect of total language immersion as opposed to ESL pullout programs on the achievement of eighth grade immigrant students in a rural American school. The review of related literature supported the idea that total language immersion was more beneficial than ESL pullout programs for immigrant students who were mainstreamed into the American school system (Hawkins, 2001). In the study, two groups of students were given an essay pre-test in August. The experimental group was mainstreamed within the regular classroom population while the non-experimental group was pulled out of the regular classroom and instructed by the ESL teacher using a regular classroom teacher's lesson plans (Hawkins, 2001). Both groups of students were instructed at similar times of the day using the identical lessons and assignments. In December, both groups were tested using an essay post-test and graded the same way as the pre-test. The results of the study concluded that the total immersion was more effective in raising the written essay scores of the experimental group (Hawkins, 2001). "

As net producers and exporters, the Malaysians were on the net receivers? side and the country has become one of the most important oil exporters in the world.

Abstract
This paper explains that the value of historic structures in this area is lucrative in terms of investment of any type and secure in terms of return-investment through return business in the form of tourists. The author stresses that the borough of Belmar and the surrounding and outlying areas are rich in the areas of science, military, government, social history, and architectural history. The paper concludes that, due to the small area of land that composes the borough of Belmar, the age of the building that constitutes the Belmar Railway Station, the location of the station, the going price of real estate in the area of Belmar on the Jersey Coast, and the immeasurable historical value of the station, any expenditures toward the preservation of the architectural structure of the nearly 100-year old station is a sound investment and should be strongly considered as a place of designation for historic structure grants. Many illustrations.
