放眼日本和东南亚各国的关系，“靖国神社”在近代成为网上和新闻冲击最强烈的关键词。祭拜亡灵本来是可以被理解的事情。但是随着时代的变迁，随着甲级战犯的迁入，靖国神社不仅仅是一间普通的神社，日本首相祭拜战犯的祭祀活动更是形成对各个受害国人民莫大的伤害。自日本首相参拜靖国神社以来，东南亚各国经常会爆发各国立场言论的战争。本文将以日本首相参拜靖国神社分析两者之间的关系，重点探讨马来西亚如何借由日本首相参拜靖国神社事件表露抗日的态度和看法。借此，本文也想揭露为何“靖国”一词能惹出许多争议，一而再地被讨论？ Reviewing the relationship between Japan and Southeast Asian countries, “Yasukuni Shrine” has become the symbol with strongest impact on the internet and news recently. In most of the time, worship is an activity which can be comprehended. However, after the secret enshrinement of class A war criminals, Yasukuni Shrine is not an ordinary shrine anymore. The visit to the controversial Yasukuni shrine by the Japan's prime minister had even caused strong protest by the war victim nations.Since the Japan prime ministerial visits to Yasukuni Shrine, furious response and debate have been triggered among the Southeast Asian countries. This paper will first examine the relationship between Japan’s prime minister and the Yasukuni Shrine. Thereafter, we will focus on how Malaysia has expressed its anti-Japanese sentiment and point of view through this controversial visit. Meanwhile, this paper seeks to reveal the reason of the repeated dispute over the keyword “Yasukuni”, in which this controversy can be reignited over and over again.
