ABSTRACT
This paper aims to evaluate the Malay Poetic Theory as a local literary theory that was initiated by Muhammad Haji Salleh (1989). This theory gained the attention of many researchers in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Some scholars compare this theory with the aesthetics theory. However, as a local literary theory, the Malay Poetic Theory has certain features that can be explored and applied in the analysis of the work of a local genius. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the application features of the Malay Poetic Theory, to analyse scholarly views on the suitability of the Malay Poetic Theory as a local theory and to evaluate its capability as a local theory. This theory is assessed using a qualitative method. It is analysed based on practical possibilities in terms of the stability of the Malay Poetic Theory to be self-sufficient and developed in Southeast Asia. As a result, the assessment of selected theses and written studies that were conducted at several universities in Southeast Asia were based on their suitability, strength and weakness. The proposed assessment results and the possibilities for the Malay Poetic Theory to be practically implemented were also analysed in this paper.
