Abstract
The Chinese first settled down in Melaka some 600 years ago. With the imposition of British colonial rule, they settled in other parts of Malaysia and contributed to the development of the land. However, the “subjective” status of Malaysian Chinese has hitherto been a neglected subject of study and has received scant attention by Malaysian society or the academic community. This study of the past, present and future of the subjectivity of Malaysian Chinese from the philosophical perspective is meant to provide insights into the construction of subjectivity and to suggest the manner by which the Chinese may become a more autonomous and self-conscious community. With the recent trends in regional developments especially in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Chinese community could play an active role to realize the aims and spirit of the initiative and hence to attain a greater sense of subjectivity and fulfillment.
