“…Being the minority, acceptance of more liberal (and not an ethnic-centered party) and believe in the freedom of speech proved that the Indian is less ethnic-centred and adopt the more liberal approach. This result is identical with the previous study that the minority tends to be more tolerant as opposite to majority (Bettelheim and Morris, 1949;Massey et al, 1999;Ahmad et al, 2013). It also witnessed that the Malays in Johor Bahru are reluctant to accept liberal political party and believed in controlled freedom of speech due to its lowest score of mean.…”

“…Being minority apart from Malays and Chinese, in line with the previous literature of minority-majority tolerance (Bettelheim and Morris, 1949;Massey et al, 1999;Ahmad et al, 2013) this result is considered opposite with previous literature. However, this situation may be referred to the leadership crisis in contemporary Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), where it may possibly translate to diminishing grass root support for MIC among Indian ethnic in Johor Bahru from a civic participation perspectives.…”

Article HistoryThis article attempts to examine the political tolerance level among multi-ethnic in the parliament of Johor Bahru. Using survey approach as a research design, this article ascertains factors that define ethnic political tolerance attitude. It found that the Malays tend to be more ethnocentric attitude, while the Chinese do not believe in the multiethnic political party, while the Indian is more politically tolerant even though cooperation with another party will further harm their own party. It also found that the urban voters are more concerned with "larger issue" rather than ethnicity and racial per se. This study may lead to a new possibility in understands ethnic and political tolerance and its significance in the study of voting behavior. It also positively provides the present form of tolerance and political knowledge. It is substantial where ethnic politics apparent as vital matter, and tolerance has fully-fledged into Malaysia national agenda in managing multi-ethnic society.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literatures of ethnic and political tolerance and its relations to voting behaviour. This study is one of very few studies which have investigated selected parliamentary area in Malaysia. The paper's primary contribution is that ethnic tolerance exists via heterogeneous composition of ethnics and urbanity.

“…Basically, as used here for racial/ ethnic groups, diversity is equivalent to the idea of heterogeneity as often more broadly invoked in sociology (e.g., Blau 1977;Blau and Schwartz 1984;Laumann 1973). All else equal, we expect greater diversity to lead to increased multiracial reporting because increased diversity (or heterogeneity, more broadly) tends to promote more frequent intergroup associations and greater tolerance, results often noted in the sociological literature (Allport 1954;Blalock 1967;Blau 1977;Massey, Hodson, and Sekulic 1999). In fact, it is precisely the lack of racial/ethnic tolerance in the Deep South that has tended to constrain the reporting of multiracial mixing, as noted above.…”

“…The contact hypothesis indirectly implies an increasing effect of segregation on the likelihood of intergroup conflicts. Supportive findings in empirical research showed highest intolerance and most competitive intergroup attitudes in homogenous ethnic enclaves (Anderson 1983;Denitch 1994;Massey et al 1999). Although contact across group borders seems to be the key to the reduction of intergroup conflict, it works only conditional on the quality, frequency, and extensiveness of the contact and on the context in which it takes place Miller 1984, 1996: 132;Brewer 1996aBrewer , 1996bBrewer , 1999.…”

Abstract:Conflicts between groups are among the central research problems in the social sciences. Several theoretical models have been proposed previously to understand and explain their causes, emergence, and dynamics. None of these models, however, captured the unintended nature of these conflicts as a result of individual actions and the structural embeddedness of actions at the same time. This study proposes such a framework as it integrates two-level models of intergroup relations known as team games and models of dyadic social control mechanisms. The proposed model demonstrates why and under what structural conditions can intergroup conflicts be considered as social dilemmas. Model predictions can be derived about the relation between certain properties of the social network and likelihood of intergroup conflict. In particular, the model provides an explanation why intergroup conflicts are often promoted by segregation and also describes some conditions under which the segregation effect becomes weaker.
