ABSTRACT

This article explores the relationship between Chinese and Malays in Malaysia from a historical and missiological perspective. Modern Malaysia was formed by pursuing mutual interests through political, economic, and religious complications with Britain, the Chinese, and the Malays. The spread of Chinese economic and political influence has been causing a backlash from other ethnic groups, especially the Malays. Malaysia, a multi-ethnic country, has been advocating a unified Malaysia since its foundation, but the conflict between Chinese and Malay ethnic groups has continued due to the “May 13 Incident”, “New Economic Policy” and a series of religious disputes. In particular, the post-Corona government’s pro-Islamic policy is intensifying this tension, as is the case with Ebit Lew. In this situation, Chinese Christians must first realize that Christian ministry is inevitably accompanied by hardships. And they need to be true friends with Malays in a “receptor-oriented method” to understand them and share their needs, especially during Covid 19. In addition, Chinese churches should be more actively involved in the interests of the state and society, based on holistic ministry and public theology that encompasses evangelism and social concern.
