The New Order regime cannot possibly want the Assimilation Programme that it co-sponsors to attain its declared aims. Achieving these aims must instead be forever deferred. To dissolve Chinese identities in an effective programme of “assimilation” means to give up the division of labour by race, upon which the status quo depends so much.

The New Order regime achieved a hegemonic status on the basis of the extra-ordinary political violence in 1965– 6, and the continued reproduction of widespread fear in its protracted aftermath. That massive violence and subsequent terrorism provided the fundamental basis for sustained ‘political stability’ and successful economic development. Ironically, both successes increasingly undermined their own basis. A new generation of middle classes and industrial workers has emerged.
