WE UPDATE REGULARLY PROSPERITY, ABUNDANCE AND SUPERSTITIONS GALORE hinese New Year is the most significant of all the traditional Chinese festivals. It is an auspicious start Cto the year and at this time the Chinese are on their best behaviour. Not to do so may prove catastrophic. There is no room for open hostilities. Every one is gracious and willing to forgive and forget. By embracing a spirit of goodwill and spreading joy and peace they experience moments of blessed calm and sheer bliss. It is a highly commendable way to begin the year. Chinese New Year, falling between 20th January and 20th February of the Gregorian calendar each year, would be mundane and a nonentity without the accompaniment of traditions and age-old taboos and superstitions. They are still practised although many Chinese with modern ideas regard them with scepticism. Nevertheless, Chinese New Year traditions and customs remain robust because they provide continuity. They bridge the divide between past and present and in this way offer the Chinese a sense of identity. continued on page 2 2 IPOH ECHO FEBRUARY 12-28, 2010 Your Voice In The Community TRADITION AND TABOO COMBINE TO USHER IN CHINESE NEW YEAR but no- to the spirit and people re- ity.

Improving Nutrient Use Efficiency. Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 32:177-182. Reference ID: 21904 Notes: #21904e Abstract: Public interest and awareness of the need for improving nutrient use efficiency is great, but nutrient use efficiency is easily misunderstood. Four indices of nutrient use efficiency are reviewed and an example of different applications of the terminology show that the same data set might be used to calculate a fertilizer N efficiency of 21% or 100%. Fertilizer N recovery efficiencies from researcher managed experiments for major grain crops range from 46% to 65%, compared to on-farm N recovery efficiencies of 20% to 40%. Fertilizer use efficiency can be optimized by fertilizer best management practices that apply nutrients at the right rate, time, and place. The highest nutrient use efficiency always occurs at the lower parts of the yield response curve, where fertilizer inputs are lowest, but effectiveness of fertilizers in increasing crop yields and optimizing farmer profitability should not be sacrificed for the sake of efficiency alone. There must be a balance between optimal nutrient use efficiency and optimal crop productivity. Souza L. F. D.and D. H. Reinhardt. 2015. Pineapple. Pages 179-201 IPO.

English Language Department, Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected] Published online: 30 October 2020 To cite this article: Shangeetha, R.K. 2020. Voices of Malaysian Indian writers writing in English. Kajian Malaysia 38(2): 25–59. https://doi.org/10.21315/km2020.38.2.2 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/km2020.38.2.2 ABSTRACT This article brings together a compilation of poems, short stories and novels written by Malaysian Indian writers from 1940 to 2018. These verse and prose forms collected here were all written in English within the last 80 years. In fact, in the contemporary Malaysian literary scene, the number of works by Malaysian Indian writers writing in English, has increased compared to the previous volumes which were primarily dominated by writers such as Cecil Rajendra, K.S. Maniam and M. Shanmughalingam. It is interesting to note that the interest of writing poetry and prose among the younger Malaysian Indian writers is on the rise with publications from younger poets and writers such as Paul GnanaSelvam and Cheryl Ann Fernando. In Malaysia, poetry and prose written by Malaysian Indian writers in English is diversifying with many promising new talents. Departing from the Malaysian Indian diaspora, the emerging themes of these lesser-known writers are more liberal. As such, the main aim of this article is to map out the cartography of Malaysian Indian works in these three genres; poem, short story and novel, and identify the main thematic concerns in the writings.

The Spectral Nanyang: Recollection, Nation, And The Genealogy Of Chineseness Abstract Decolonizing counter-narratives to Malaysia's official national history are insufficiento t account for the complex legacies of nationalism in Malaysia, and its relationship with Chineseness, race, and colonialism. This dissertation close reads the fictional works of three contemporary Mahua (Malaysian Chinese) authors – Zhang Guixing, Ng Kim Chew and Li Tianbao – to argue that Mahua identity is haunted by a nationalistic Chineseness deriving from late 19th and early 20th century mainland China, which defines itself on the basis of an archaic, civilizational imaginary, with undertones of racial and cultural purity. This conditions Mahua political and cultural identity during flashpoints of Malaysian history across Malaya (now Peninsular Malaysia) and Borneo (now partially East Malaysia), spanning anti-colonial Hua- dominated communist movements during the Cold War, such as the Sarawak Communist Insurgency (1962-1990) and the Malayan Communist Party during the Malayan Emergencies (1948-1960 and 1968-1989); and Hua literati responses to a post-1969 renewal of the politics of Malay indigeneity.

  • Persembahan Bogel 'Rose Chan' Dan Bantahan Masyarakat Di Kedah
    PERSEMBAHAN BOGEL ‘ROSE CHAN’ DAN BANTAHAN MASYARAKAT DI KEDAH PADA DEKAD AWAL 1960-1970AN. MOHD KASRI SAIDON PUSAT PENGAJIAN PENDIDIKAN DAN BAHASA MODEN UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA Pengenalan Tajuk sebegini mungkin menjadi satu tanda tanya bagi para pembaca khususnya sejarawan dan peminat sejarah di Malaysia khususnya di Kedah. Tentu sahaja ianya dilihat sebagai satu aktiviti yang tidak berlesen atau dalam erti kata lain ianya haram. Hakikatnya adalah disebaliknya dan memerlukan banyak pemahaman tentang situasi sosial, perundangan yang membawa kepada rintisan cerita kepada tajuk yang dinyatakan di atas. Tajuk ini berkait rapat dengan seorang individu yang bernama Rose Chan yang telah mencipta satu kejutan dan fenomena baru kepada suasana hiburan pada era tahun 1960an khususnya di bandar besar seperti Singapura,Kuala Lumpur dan Pulau Pinang. Hal ini kemudiannya melebar pula ke bandar-bandar kecil di banyak tempat di Tanah Melayu ketika itu. Di Kedah persembahan Rose Chan ini menjadi bualan di Alor Setar, Sungai Petani dan juga pekan kecil yang lain. Tarikan utamanya hanyalah satu iaitu aksi separuh bogel dan persembahan pentas yang begitu kontraversi.Aksi sebegini adalah sesuatu yang baru dan diluar dari kebiasaan atau budaya orang timur khususnya orang Melayu.Malah pada bangsa lain seperti Cina dan India juga ianya bukanlah sesuatu yang lunak untuk diterima. Persembahan yang begitu menjadi bualan ini kemudiannya mencetuskan tentangan oleh beberapa pertubuhan dan juga orang perseorangan di beberapa tempat. Di Kedah ianya ditentang hebat oleh ramai individu yang berpengaruh sama ada dari aliran politik atau pertubuhan bukan kerajaan 1274 (NGO). Tentangan sebegitu pada masa itu memperlihatkan satu bentuk kesefahaman rakyat kepada gejala yang dianggap tidak bermoral ini dari menular ke dalam masyarakat.
