| Summary: | This is a study about the discursive construction of national integration (Bangsa
Malaysia) as perceived by two Malaysian English news dailies: The New Straits Times and
The Star. National integration, in Malaysia and elsewhere is largely a political concept
constructed by the political leaders and/ or visionaries appeared in the country. It is an ‘empty
signifier’ which develops around a ‘lack.’ Media as ideological state apparatus may help
constructing the notion of national integration. This chapter would analyse the interpretation
of national integration in Malaysia as perceived by editorials and opinion editorials published
in two English language newspapers in the country. |
