policy in the philippines was similar. cultivating elites, maintaining massive basis, crafting trade treaties. one journalist called this dependent independence. now how did this come to pass in malaya? between the late 1940's to the 1950's, what malcolm mcdonald did with the rest of the british colonial authorities was remind the local nationalists who were anti-communist, if you do not get a durable, multi-racial accord going that turns on the malayan communists, we will never give you independence. so the impetus for malays who were ann ttagonistic to chineses to get together. the political elites to get together. there was a great impetus to do so. malcolm mcdonald encouraged it at that time. he was not yet knighted. you can guess what he was knighted for. he came together with the group to create the alliance. what's ironic about the alliance political party is it was created the malayan chinese association, pure ethnic chinese, no others from different races would join this party. the united malays national organizat
