Under Education Act 1961, Chinese schools were forced to be assimilated into National School system. The remaining 60 Chinese schools which refused to do so, being named as Chinese Independent High School. In 1973, a Chinese education movement spread all over the country as fundraising events for school development as Government had stopped funding these schools. A “proposal for Chinese Independent High Schools” was implemented to set up direction for the development of Chinese Independent High Schools. The committee under this proposal had developed a unified curriculum, textbooks and examination system which adhered to mother tongue education. This research aims to analyse the content of first to third set of Chinese textbooks and the incorporation of Malaysian culture into Malaysian Chinese education system. Research has revealed that the first set of Chinese textbooks contained lots of local issue. The second sets showed a greater number of local literature contents. However, the amount of local contents in the third set was reduced compared to the first two sets due to the stabilized Chinese Education in Malaysia.
