    abstract = {This study discusses a book entitled Hubungan Etnik (Ethnic 
  Relations) which was withdrawn from being used in Universiti Putra Malaysia 
  because of errors and poor editing in its content. Political parties claimed 
  that the book and the researchers tried to create racial sentiment in their 
  writings. They also claimed that in some of the ethnic conflicts mentioned in 
  this book the authors had in favoured to the government and aggravated other 
  parties. Were the mistakes and errors in the book planned by the researchers? 
  Or was it merely poor editing in the book production process? This research 
  studies the actual fact behind the problems. The errors were checked studied 
  and compared to the actual facts based on the criticism raised by the opposition 
  party. The comments made by the editors of the book have also been used in this 
  study. This study concludes that all the mistakes and errors were due to the 
  lack of professionalism in publishing the book, especially the lack of editorial 
  support before the book was printed.}
