The paper argues that in Malaysia, the “principle of social allocation??? is the fundamental barrier to national unity, national integration and the making of a Malaysian nation. Through this principle of social allocation, Malaysians are categorised into Malays or Non- Malays, and accorded Bumiputera-Indigenous Status, or Non-Bumiputera-Immigrant status. The ideology of Bumiputeraism and Non-Bumiputeraism assigns Malays/Bumiputeras and Non-Malays/Non-Bumiputeras into positions of unequal access, ownership and control over knowledge, power, resources and space.

The diversity of naming forms adopted by Chinese Muslims shows the complexity of the community and the flexiblility ot their identities depending on the situation. The choice of names for their children also reflect Chinese Muslim tendencies whether to maintain their “Chineseness??? to the next generation or not. Besides this, the use of Chinese Muslim names as ethnic and religion markers is flexible and can shift when the situation and actors changed.
