What's the background to the "1/3" issue?

No, I mean 1/3 of teh population is non-Malay, and they don't have as many rights as Malays. At teh time of independence, according to teh "social contract," they were generously given citizenship in exchange for accepting this state of affairs.

Malays make up ca 52 % of the population.
