马来西亚知识分子何国忠投入政治的举动引发了政治和文化的复杂性的思考。以2008年为分水岭，2008年前，何国忠重视文化、学术，并认为江河日下的华族文化受到政治的干预，故表达了知识分子留守学术界的重要性。然而，他并也不排斥学者从政，因要扭转这股局势，投入政治成是最有效的途径。2008年后，何国忠成为高等教育部长，投身马华公会，其言论遵循“体制内改革”的观点而发展。对比下呈现了多样的冲突与妥协，早前作品批评政治、巫统霸权、文化、马华公会，後期赞同“体制内”的思想则更加明确化。Turning to be a politician from an intellectual, Hou Kok Chung has stirred questions about complexity between culture and politics. In 2008, he was appointed as a Minister of Higher Education. Before that, he was largely concerned about academic roles in improving the ethnic Chinese situation. After 2008, however, he joined politics and attempted to make changes within the current ruling system. These contradictions and changes can be explained through analyzing his writings. Before 2008, he criticized the United Malays National Organization and Malaysian Chinese Association, but as time goes by, he has been part of the alliance the two parties formed. His writings show that all these changes are not a sudden, but of continuity through the years.
