Among those factors, the mass media play a significant role in the process.This paper examines the role of Chinese newspapers in building the Chinese identity in Malaysia. The appointment of high-ranking administators to Chinese primary schools in 1987” is used as a case study to explore the news text used by the two major Chinese newspapers, Nanyang Siang Pau and Sin Chew Jit Poh. This paper demonstrates the impact of such linguistic mechanisms in constructing a system of categorization, which is used to set a line between “us”and “them”. As a result, that common identity has successfully created a sense of belonging among Chinese community and effectively mobilized them to fight for the interests of the community.
