Abstract

Kearifan lokal dibutuhkan untuk masuk ke dalam diskursus tentang multikulturalisme. Multikulturalisme, multietnisitas, pluralisme dan pluralitas pada saat dikaitkan dengan identitas dan pembangunan bangsa dapat saja bermakna banyak hal untuk masing-masing orang. Seringkali kegagalan dalam memahami “basis kearifan lokal dari identitas” membawa konsekuensi sosial-politik yang merusak kepada “komunitas” yang pada akhirnya terbawa bersama kepada level kebangsaan. Skenario ini secara historis membuktikan kepada bangsa bahwa konstruksi yang disusun oleh penguasa kolonial yang menempatkan kepentingan ekonomi mereka pada posisi pertama dibandingkan kepentingan komunitas lokal membentuk batas politik dari bangsa. Kajian ini dimaksudkan untuk menunjukkan bahwa identitas orang Malaysia sangat berhubungan dekat dengan aspek etnisitas. Keywords: Multiculturalism, Polyethnic, Pluralism, Plurality, Bumi Putera ,

Abstract

Existing research on social cohesion in Malaysia often examines it at the national level, with a strong emphasis on inter-ethnic relations. However, there is a significant gap in studies th at focus solely on intra-ethnic cohesion within the Malay-Muslims community. This study addresses that gap by developing and validating, through expert consensus, a new instrument to measure intra-ethnic cohesion. The study employs a quantitative design using the Fuzzy Delphi Method with a 7-point Likert scale, involving 10 carefully selected experts. Data were analysed using triangular fuzzy numbers and defuzzification ranking. Findings show that all elements of the proposed construct such as self-belonging, inclusivity, organizational/ political participation, recognition, legitimacy and equality has reached expert consensus. The agreement level exceeded 75%, the threshold value was below 0.2 (d<0.2) and the fuzzy score (A) was greater than the α-cut value of 0.5. These results provide a foundation for developing a structured framework for measuring social cohesion within the Malay-Muslim community in Malaysia. This article reports Phase 1 of instrument development, highlighting its limitations and future directions for full psychometric validation.
