The result was   delete. The article has no references to reliable sources and does not say what the "Malay attitude" actually is. The "keep" articles do not address the policy-based problems with this article. We don't cover phrases such as American attitude just because that phrase has 99,200 Google hits.

This is NOT Neologism.
 * Malay Attitude is too common in Malaysia with 540 Google hits, not Neologism. The Malay Attitude was discussed many times by former prime minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohammad and Tun Abdul Razak and Institute of Islam and Science and many more.

''Development of Malaysian Malay Race. To carry out studies on Malay-Non Malay relationship and Malay’s thinking, behaviour, habit, practices and culture and to examine their conformance to Islamic values and principles. To study factors especially from the point of view of Malay attitude, custom and culture that has plagued them in their ability to compete with the other races and how these could be realigned in accordance to the Quran and Hadith to produce the desired quality Muslims.''

 * Keep this article, the reason is because I'm a Malay living in Malaysia and we often discuss about "Malay Attitude" at school or at home with our parents and with our friends. My father talks about "Malay Attitude" all the time because he wants the mindset of Malays to change. Titifah (talk) 02:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't think you could vote, judging by your contribution history. __earth (Talk) 03:15, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply to Comment, to be honest, as a muslim myself, I editted quite some articles without register, because I am in fear of the arrest by the Internal Security Act (Malaysia) and also fear of reprisal such as bombing my house, as there were too many Malaysian being arrested on Islamic issue.

 * Keep as the term is currently a hot topic in Malaysia's Multimedia University for the Malays to study. Furthermore, in Sinagapore too, we can see the term "Malay Attitude", excerpt from: The Singapore Dilemma - The Political and Educational Marginality of the Malay Community written by Lily Zubaidah Rahim  "articulating the indignant Malay attitude, a Berita Harina editoria noted (cited in ST, 25 September 1988), 'To the Malays, the government is responsible for the progress of citizens who are lagging behind in the fields of economy and education. Hence, to link the support and votes tfor the PAP to the government’s support and assistance for the Malays is not a convincing argument." KCKaySee (talk) 03:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
