    The Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, in its 50th Anniversary Year, presents THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM on the MALAY MUSICAL ARTS OF INDONESIA’S RIAU ISLANDS Theme: Sound, Body Movement, Drama and Hierarchy in the Malay World/ Suara, Gerak Tubuh, Drama dan Hirarki dalam Seni Musik Kepulauan Riau Date: Wednesday 14th to Friday 16th January, 2015 Place: The Music Auditorium, Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, Clayton Campus, Monash University, Melbourne Actress Uci Saptarini in her princess’ costume making up the face of one of her ladies-in-waiting before a mendu theatre performance on Bunguran Island, Natuna, Riau Islands Province, 20 January 2013. Photo: Karen Kartomi Thomas. 1 BACKGROUND: The Symposium will investigate sound, body movement, drama, hierarchy and socio-historical context in the musical arts of (i) the mainly Muslim Malays who live on the more accessible, partly industrialising islands of the Riau archipelago (Kepri) and (ii) the Orang Suku Laut/Sea Nomads living in areas that are relatively untouched by modernisation. Both the sedentary and the sea-nomadic Malays are heirs to the arts of the Riau-Lingga-Johor & Pahang kingdom (its official name in the Riau Islands) which formerly covered the present-day province of Kepri. The kingdom traces its heritage back to Bukit Siguntang (Siguntang Hill) in the 7th century CE, followed by its subsequent re-locations in Bintan, Singapore, Melaka, Johor, Pahang and Daik- Lingga, including that of the Viceroy at Penyengat from the mid- to late- 18th century until 1911. The Symposium will adopt an across-the-arts approach in its study of the styles and syntax of the music, dance, theatre, bardic arts, martial arts, and popular commercial arts in relation to the Kepri people’s history; lifestyles; royal Malay heritage; religious, socio-political and gender ideologies, and the sustainability of the arts.

University, Tirupati 517502 ** Academic Consultant, Dept. of Commerce, S.V. University, Tirupati 517502 ABSTRACT Microfinance is usually understood to entail the provision of financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses, which lack access to banking and related services due to the high transaction costs associated with serving these client categories. The two main mechanisms for the delivery of financial services to such clients are (1) relationship-based banking for individual entrepreneurs and small businesses; and (2) group-based models, where several entrepreneurs come together to apply for loans and other services as a group.

According to a report on Global Aging issued in 2008, members in the informal sector formed about 80% of the working population in Ghana. The informal sector contributes several ways towards economic growth. However, they are not considered for main stream credit by formal banks for lack of steady business, lack of Collateral and historical Financial Data for reference. They, therefore, depend heavily on Micro credit (the extension of small loans to those in the informal sector to spur entrepreneur) by informal financial institutions.
