The ongoing paper aims to study the use of Malaysian English lexis in creative writing by Lloyd. To be more accurate, the study aims to investigate the local language referents in the work of Lloyd Fernando in "Green is the colour". It is  a sensitive novel about racial and religious tolerance set against the shadow of the 1969 racial riot in Kuala Lumpur where four main characters, good young people from different ethnic groups who become friends and even fell in love. To give this novel a characteristic of being more realistic ,Lloyd Fernando uses lots of local words in his English novel,which lead this work to analyze these local lexis items according to categories made by Baskaran (2005).

Arising from its geographical position in relation to the Western countries and the multicultural specificity of this space, Transylvania was, due to the ethnic groups of Romanians, Germans, Hungarians, and other nationalities who lived there, a promoter of both Western influences and local cultural values. The print media was the means for these nationalities to preserve their language, traditions, customs and culture. Thus, in 1920, Romanian, German and Hungarian intellectuals opened new cultural horizons, managing to overcome traditional ethnic barriers. Through their publications, they expressed respect for plurality and ethnocultural diversity, religious tolerance, and asserted at the same time their own cultural and national identity. This study intends to survey the ethnic German literature at the beginning of the twentieth century that has also been partially translated into Romanian

Religious Ideal

The recent violent anti-social acts by individuals and groups who feel deeply committed to some or other religious ideal have underscored the importance of the inculcation of religious tolerance in young children for the sake of peaceful coexistence in increasingly diverse and pluralistic communities. The key to such inculcation is education in the most positive sense of the word, i.e. as nurturing, guiding and equipping. Research has shown that some young people are being subjected to a form of negative pedagogy or anti-pedagogy that shapes them to be religiously intolerant. The purpose of this article is to show how education in the most positive sense of the word could be employed to make such etchings on the souls (personalities) of young people that would shape them to become cultured and religiously tolerant persons. They could become people with integrity, equipped with life-maps helping them to live peacefully in increasingly diverse and pluralistic societies, able and willing to contribute to their own well-being and also to that of all other people.

Stop And Search

This article considers the ongoing controversy over police powers to stop and search. It particularly looks at the evidence of racial disparity in use of these powers from the official statistics. The article considers attempts to improve use of stop and search by the police, including extra safeguards introduced after the Macpherson Report and the reduction of recording requirements after the Flanagan Report. It considers the argued fall in police use of stop and search after Macpherson and increase in use of general and anti-terrorist stop and search powers after 9/11 and 7/7. Police arguments to justify differential use between ethnic groups are considered. While concentrating on the developments since the late 1990s, the continuing nature of the debate about police use of powers in the last few decades is highlighted. The article considers the great concern about knife crime in recent years and government and police policies to deal with this. The analysis focuses on the potential impact on young people.

Colonial Malaya is one of the classic examples of a plural society. In Furnivall's memorable words, it was a society in which “each group holds its own religion, its own culture and language, its own ideas and ways”, a society made up of different groups “living side by side, but separately, within the same political unit”. It is perhaps because of this all-important characteristic that social historians have tended to focus on one or another of the groups in Malayan society. There have been excellent studies of the Malays, the Chinese, and the Indians, and more recently historians have begun to look at smaller groups such as the Europeans. These studies have tended to emphasize the political history of the various groups, the effects of British policies, the history of immigration, and (for the Chinese) the workings of secret societies, but some attention has also been paid to important social changes such as the emergence of new organizations and elites. A very rewarding field has been the history of Malay education, which has revealed the ways in which the different forms of education were responsible both for reinforcing traditional Malay social structure and for introducing change. Clearly, the study of particular ethnic groups has been extremely fruitful. And a great deal more remains to be done.
