Audible pasts: History, sound and human experience in Southeast Asia. KEMANUSIAAN the Asian Journal of Humanities 25(Supp. 1): 1–19, https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.s1.1 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.s1.1 Abstract. Although historians of traditional Southeast Asian cultures rely primarily on written sources, the societies they study were intensely oral and aural. Research on sound in Southeast Asia has focused on music and musicology, but historians are now considering the wide variety of noises to which people were exposed, and how the interpretations and understanding of these sounds shaped human experience. This article uses an 1899 court case in Singapore concerning a noisy neighbour as a departure point to consider some of the ways in which “noise” was heard in traditional Southeast Asian societies. Focusing on Singapore, it shows that European attitudes influenced the attitudes of the colonial administration towards loud noise, especially in the streets. By the late 19th century, the view that sleep was necessary for good health, and that noise interfered with sleep, was well established. The changing soundscape of Singapore in the early 20th century led to increasing middle class demands for government action to limit urban noise, although these were largely ineffective.

    6th International Conference on Electronics, Mechanics, Culture and Medicine (EMCM 2015) The Singapore English Press in The 1970s Lingyi Huang College of Foreign Languages and Cultures Xiamen University Xiamen, China [email protected] Keywords: English Press; Singapore; Media; newspaper; 1970s Abstract. The English Press in Singapore has unique features in a country that functions under Authoritarian System. In the 1970s, the whole press (both English and Chinese) faced challenges and pressure from the control of the government. Tightening measures and laws were implemented, therefore the English press had to readjust the orientation and tried to cater to the need of nation- building and fostering of the spirit of being Singaporeans. The period in the 1970s was the time that both sides had the fiercest conflicts and the key stage the government began to lay down the complete and effective supervision system. A careful and thorough analysis into the English press at that time helps to reveal a more profound picture of that special phrase and paves the way to a deeper understanding between power and media. Introduction In a multicultural and multi-lingual society, Singapore English press has its unique features in the development in a post-colonial age. In 1965, Singapore gain independence and founded the republic, proclaiming the opening of a new age, with the People‟s Action Party dominating the government. The new government faced challenges not only in national economy after a long colonial age, but a defiant press circle that pursued the “Fourth Estate” concept which is popular in western press. How to effectively control the press, especially the English press and how English press reacted to a series of tightening measure from the government? The English press had presumed what kind of role after several rounds of fight and concession? These are all the important questions I would like to find out in the following analysis.

  • Challenges of Digitizing Vernacular Newspapers & Preliminary Study Of
    Challenges of Digitizing Vernacular Newspapers & Preliminary Study of User Behaviour on NewspaperSG’s Multilingual UI Mazelan bin Anuar, Cally Law and Soh Wai Yee Abstract Singapore is a multicultural nation. About 76 per cent of Singapore’s population is ethnically Chinese, 14 per cent Malay, nine per cent Indian and the rest comprising other ethnic groups. Borne out of a pragmatic need to operate in the global economy using the English language, Singapore adopted the bilingual education policy in 1966. As a result, the majority of the Singaporean citizens are bilingual today, able to communicate effectively in English and their mother tongues. Four official languages are used in Singapore, namely English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. NewspaperSG is an online resource of Singapore newspapers published from 1831 to 2009. It was started in March 2009 with one major newspaper title in English, namely the Straits Times. Its coverage has now expanded to 29 titles, including Chinese, Malay and Tamil newspapers. With the introduction of these newspapers since August 2011, the multilingual interface was introduced in NewspaperSG to allow users to navigate the portal in English, Chinese or Malay. The paper will highlight the process and challenges that the team faced during the digitization of the multilingual newspapers, especially newspapers in the Chinese language. It will also present the preliminary findings on the study of user behaviour in NewspaperSG’s multilingual environment. Introduction Singapore was opened as a British trading post in 1819. Its first newspaper, Singapore Chronicle and Commercial Register, started in 1824. Since then more than 120 newspapers had been published in Singapore but many of them were short-lived and had ceased publication.
