  • Singaporean First: Challenging the Concept of Transnational Malay Masculinity
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Amsterdam University Press as: Lyons, L., Ford, M. (2009). Singaporean First: Challenging the Concept of Transnational Malay Masculinity. In Derek Heng, Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied (Eds.), Reframing Singapore: Memory - Identity - Trans-Regionalism, (pp. 175-193). Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press. Singaporean First: Challenging the Concept of Transnational Malay Masculinity Lenore Lyons and Michele Ford Since Singapore's independence in 1965, the People's Action Party's (henceforth the PAP) management of ethnicity and potential ethnic conflict has depended on a strategy that emphasizes selected 'race' identities.1 Under a policy of multiracialism, all Singaporeans fall into one of four official race categories - Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Others. This policy, known as 'CMIO multiracialism', goes much further than simply providing an environment in which cultural and religious practices are observed and upheld. It downplays diversity within racial categories and emphasizes shared cultural and linguistic heritages within racial groups. In the process, race becomes an important way of labelling the population and individuals are encouraged to think about themselves using these racial categories. CMIO multiracialism relies for its legitimacy upon the imagery of an ever-present threat to national stability from inter-ethnic conflict. It is thus promoted as a pragmatic solution to the realities of nation building. The policy was developed in a context of concern about the promotion of Malay privilege under the leadership of the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), in the short-lived Federation of Malaysia of which Singapore was a part from 1963 to 1965. During this period, the PAP promoted the concept of a 'Malaysian Malaysia' in which all races were given equal rights, against a 'Malay Malaysia' in which Malays (as bumiputera, literally 'sons of the soil') would be privileged above other ethnic groups (Lian and Rajah 2002).

  • Racialisation in Singapore, Philippa Poole, 2016
    CERS Working Paper 2016 Philippa Poole Racialisation in Singapore Introduction This essay will seek to establish an account of racialisation in Singapore since it became an independent sovereign state in 1965 until the present day. The working definition of racialisation adhered to in this process is racialisation as "the dynamic process by which racial concepts, categories and divisions come to structure and embed themselves in arenas of social life" (Law, 2010, p. 59). This will be achieved by critically assessing four key dimensions which demonstrate how the State privileges the Chinese-Singaporean majority, comprising 74.2% of the population (Muigai, 2010), and both directly and indirectly discriminates against the minority ethnic groups. These are primarily the Malay-Singaporeans, the Indigenous people of Singapore making up 13.4% of the population, but also Indian-Singaporeans (9.2%) and other ethnic groups including Eurasians (3.2 %) (Mugai, 2010). This essay relates to Barr's (2008) thesis, and will argue that since the 1980s Singapore has faced a period of Racial Sinicisation, whereby there is a growing hegemony celebrating Chineseness above all other groups. This is producing an assimilationist logic, but also involves racial marking by the State, the People's Action Party (PAP). This is despite the fact that Singapore is globally recognised as multicultural and a site of ethnic social and cultural harmony, having a diverse ethnic mix all crammed into an area of 682.7km² and not having faced communal riots since 1964 between the Chinese and Malay (Mugai, 2010). The first dimension explored will discuss how external influences have interacted with ongoing stereotypes about the different ethnic groups in Singapore (CMIO - Chinese, Malay, Indian and Other) and influenced State indirect and direct discriminatory policies.

However, peace and security are no longer measured only in terms of conventional wars.

In 2016, the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly adopted concurrent resolutions on Sustainable Peace, recognising that development, peace, and security are firmly interlinked.

It was a special course for officials from developing countries. I was then a young officer working in the Economic Planning Unit. 2 My class of 20 came from 16 different countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and southern Europe. 3 We were taught theories of economic development, quantitative programming and other useful subjects. But what we were not taught was the importance of good government as a pre-condition for sustained economic development. This was assumed. But alas, it was an assumption that did not hold true for most of the countries represented in my class. What has happened to these countries since then is instructive. 4 For example, three of the countries have broken up – Pakistan, Ethiopia and Yugoslavia. Nine countries have experienced civil wars, social upheavals or violent changes of government at some stage in the last 35 years – Philippines, India, Egypt, Uganda, Liberia, Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia and Honduras.

  • The Vowels of the Different Ethnic Groups in Singapore
    English in Southeast Asia: Literacies, Literatures and Varieties, David Prescott, Andy Kirkpatrick, Isabel Martin and Azirah Hashim (eds.), Newcastle, UK: Cambridge Scholars Press, 2007, pp. 2–29. THE VOWELS OF THE DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS IN SINGAPORE DAVID DETERDING Introduction Over the past decade, interest in Singapore English, and also the Englishes of other countries in South-East Asia, has burgeoned. Furthermore, the easy availability of computer software has made it straightforward to record and measure speech, with the result that nowadays description of regional varieties of English is increasingly based on the measurement and analysis of substantial quantities of data. Here, some new measurements of the vowels of Singapore English are presented and then compared with other recently-published results for varieties of English in South-East Asia. For Singapore English, it has long been observed that there is a tendency for speakers to have no distinction between the long/short pairs of vowels /iː/~/ɪ/, /ɔː/~/ɒ/, /ɑː/~/ʌ/, and /uː/~/ʊ/ as well as the two non-close front vowels /e/~/æ/ (Tongue 1979, 28, Tay 1982, Brown 1988, Bao 1998, Lim 2004, Wee 2004), and measurements (Hung 1995, Deterding 2003) have confirmed most of these observations. These measurements have mainly focused on the speech of ethnically Chinese Singaporeans, as they constitute the overwhelming majority of the population of Singapore, but this overlooks a significant dimension in the variation found in Singapore English, as 14% of Singaporeans are ethnically Malay and 9% are Indian (Singapore Department of Statistics 2006), so it is important to consider the extent to which the speech of Malays and Indians differs from that of Chinese.

  • Ethnic Differences in Bone Mineral Density Among Midlife Women in a Multi-Ethnic Southeast Asian Cohort
    Archives of Osteoporosis (2019) 14:80 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11657-019-0631-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Ethnic differences in bone mineral density among midlife women in a multi-ethnic Southeast Asian cohort Win Pa Pa Thu1 & Susan J. S. Logan1 & Jane A. Cauley2 & Michael S. Kramer1,3 & Eu Leong Yong1 Received: 30 April 2019 /Accepted: 7 July 2019 # International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation 2019 Abstract Summary Chinese Singaporean middle-aged women have significantly lower femoral neck bone mineral density and higher lumbar spine bone mineral density than Malays and Indians, after adjustment for age, body mass index, and height. Purpose Information regarding mediators of differences in bone mineral density (BMD) among Asian ethnicities are limited. Since the majority of hip fractures are predicted to be from Asia, differences in BMD in Asian ethnicities require further exploration. We compared BMD among the Chinese, Malay, or Indian ethnicities in Singapore, aiming to identify potential mediators for the observed differences. Methods BMD of 1201 women aged 45–69 years was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. We examined the associations between ethnicity and BMD at both sites, before and after adjusting for potential mediators measured using standardized questionnaires and validated performance tests. Results Chinese women had significantly lower femoral neck BMD than Malay and Indian women. Of the more than 20 variables examined, age, body mass index, and height accounted for almost all the observed ethnic differences in femoral neck BMD between Chinese and Malays. However, Indian women still retained 0.047 g/cm2 (95% CI, 0.024, 0.071) higher femoral neck BMD after adjustment, suggesting that additional factors may contribute to the increased BMD in Indians.

Usage patterns of each official language, common dialects and varieties and their use, and the politics of language planning are outlined. The role of ethnic groups in determining language use is considered. Literacy patterns for each of the official languages are examined and factors affecting literacy are noted, including educational policy, social changes, development of the global marketplace, and historical and socioeconomic factors across and within language groups. The evolution and influence of public policy concerning bilingualism are noted. Vocational and adult education systems are described. Issues related to literacy and workforce development are explored, focusing on the two directions from which they are currently being addressed: the school curriculum, and adult and vocational education. Issues discussed include competition between languages, even within the school context, the effects of multilingualism, and the relevance to the workplace of the literacy skill being taught.
