Abstract

Most studies of the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia have largely been concerned with its impact on the development of nationalism of the region. In general, their historiographical wind is divided into two interpretations “interruption†and “transformation†arguments. This paper attempts to reexamine the “interruption†argument, focusing on the impact of Japanese occupation on the development of Malay nationalism with special reference to the Kesatuan Melayu Muda or KMM (Young Malay Union). Based upon this investigation, this paper makes a conclusion that the “interruption†argument which the Japanese occupation did really have a catalytic effect on the development of Malay nationalism is not so convincing a point of view.
