Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies.

LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature. Circulation of this series is free of charge. Comments should be addressed directly to authors. Abstracts of papers can be downloaded from the LEWI web page at http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/publications.html.

KIT CHAN One of the Most Established and Multi-Faceted Artists
KIT CHAN One of the most established and multi-faceted artists in Singapore, Kit Chan is often dubbed Singapore's "national treasure". Since her debut in 1993, she has been a trailblazer who has proven herself in diverse areas including singing, theatre, television drama, poetry, songwriting, entrepreneurship, creative direction and community work. In 1994, Kit propelled Singapore’s pop music into the region when she took the Taiwanese market by storm with the album " 心痛" ( Heartache ) and went on to establish herself in the scene as a powerhouse songstress. A dynamic performer, Kit took her performances to many parts of Asia, the USA, Korea, and New Zealand. She has collaborated with symphonies and orchestras in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, winning numerous musical awards and accolades in Asia. Kit earned her moniker as Singapore’s “national treasure” when she became the first artist to do a solo performance of the National Day Parade theme song “Home” ( 家) in 1998. Her status as a national icon was further affirmed when she was appointed World Vision Singapore’s first celebrity goodwill ambassador, the National Youth Council’s first Youth Ambassador, followed by many firsts in her enduring career. In 2004, Kit took a hiatus from her illustrious performing career to further her studies, and hit the headlines when she joined prestigious international PR consultancy Hill & Knowlton as their Campaign Specialist in 2007. Even during the long break from her performing career, Kit was invited to front the first-ever Singapore Day in New York City in 2007. After her corporate sojourn, Kit performed the commissioned theme song “ One World ” at the APEC 2009 Gala Night before prominent world leaders, and made her much-anticipated return to the stage as leading lady (Li Qing) in the highest grossing Mandarin musical to-date in Singapore, “ 雨季” ( December Rains ) at Esplanade Theatre in 2010. -

About Leslie Low a Music Composer and Sound Designer by Profession
About Leslie Low A music composer and sound designer by profession, Leslie Low is the former frontman of veteran folk-rock band Humpback Oak and is currently fronting one of Singapore’s greatest musical efforts, The Observatory. His works stem from the very basic need to express and frame his sentiments within an aural context. Leslie’s first solo outing was an experimental instrumental album titled Volcanoes in 2005. He released his first solo album of songs Worm in 2007. In 2008, Leslie made two recorded but previously unreleased albums available by web download, A Walking Purgatory and Black Book. Leslie’s solo work, The Ground, a special album by order only, was released in 2009. He has also released Triangular as a limited run live CD. Early 2014 saw the release of his second instrumental solo album, Longing, on vinyl only. He has since released No Such Thing as Ghosts, Child of the Island, Nature, Currents and To My Shadow. Active in the experimental circuit, Leslie is one-third of free improvisation unit Snake Blood Union, half of Magus with Canadian drummer Mark Dolmont, and a member of doom foursome Meddle, among other music groups and collaborations. Sound Design by Shah Tahir Shah Tahir has been involved in various aspects of the audio and music industry for over 20 years. As a musician, he has played guitar on numerous albums for Singapore and regional artists such as Dick Lee, Kit Chan, Jeremy Monteiro and Sandy Lam. As a music producer, he’s worked with many homegrown talents, including Humpback Oak and Michaela Therese.
