The histories of both societies have been more complex and colourful than dominant views suggest. For several months in late 1998, thousands of Malaysians took to the streets in confrontation with state security forces. However, they did not do so at all costs or for the long-term. After they withdrew from street confrontation in early 1999, it was far from clear whether they had given up such political activism altogether, became apathetic, or justified the status quo. Economic conditions were a crucial factor in all this, but by themselves they cannot explain many things.

Thus, there is always an inherent need to deny their privileged status, self-interest or desire for recognition, and occasionally misrecognition of their secret desire for power and wealth. Unlike the subaltern, post-colonial intellectuals do not sell their manual labour in order to survive. They do not have to work on a permanent basis in the most dangerous, dirty and difficult working environments out of the dull compulsion to survive. Some of them do so voluntarily, and for this they usually reap public awe, special recognition and considerable respect, if not handsome material rewards.

A general strike by the majority of students as well as the teaching and administrative staff lasted for an uninterrupted period of eight months, paralysing the institution before a mass exodus of students and faculty members towards the end of 1995.
