Enter the Malay World and Uncover Singapore's History Across 700 A Heritage Institution of MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release OLD STORIES RETOLD, AND LESSER KNOWN HISTORIES REVEALED Enter the Malay World and uncover Singapore’s history across 700 years through Malay Heritage Centre’s special exhibition and Malay CultureFest 2019 Singapore, 9 October 2019 – “There they saw an animal extremely swift and beautiful. Its body of a red colour, its head black and its breast white, extremely agile, and of great strength, and its size, a little larger than a he-goat.” This was the description of the beast, which Sang Nila Utama allegedly sighted when he landed on Temasek as recorded in ‘Sejarah Melayu’ (as translated by John Leyden, 1821). 2 Ask any Singaporean and they will tell you that one of the best-known origin stories behind the founding of Singapore is Sang Nila Utama’s sighting of a lion when he first landed on our island. The tale surrounding Sang Nila Utama is one of many enduring myths passed down through generations. From magnificent beasts to princes, princesses, and sultans – these fairytale-like characters headline intriguing stories, which reveal more about Singapore’s history more than 700 years ago. 3 Through maps, artefacts and historical accounts – including many from Malay and other indigenous sources, the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) shines a spotlight on these legends in its latest special exhibition, Seekor Singa, Seorang Putera & Sebingkai Cermin: Reflecting & Refracting Singapura, and presents multiple perspectives and fresh insights into the history of Singapore all the way back in the 15th century. The exhibition, which runs from 12 October 2019 to 21 June 2020, brings together more than 120 exhibits, tracing Singapore’s maritime and cultural significance prior to the British and Dutch occupation in the Malay Archipelago. Visitors can expect to unearth the deep historical and cultural connections that Singapore has had with the different communities in the region, such as the Javanese and Bugis, and from farther lands, including the Indians, Arabs and Europeans, across 700 years. 4 Asmah Alias, General Manager of MHC, said, “Understanding history is often about the presentation of different perspectives. MHC would like, with this exhibition, to challenge visitors to revisit the inherited narratives that we are familiar with. This is done through a diverse showcase of Malay narratives and indigenous sources, which add on interesting layers A Heritage Institution of to the accounts of the European settlers. We hope the exhibition will jolt visitors out of their comfort zones, and encourage them to reconsider their understanding of history so as to piece together a more holistic world history of Singapore and the Malay Archipelago.” 5 Spread across two special exhibition galleries as well as the Anjung Gallery, a permanent gallery of MHC, the exhibition takes visitors on a three-part journey into the Malay World of the 15th to 19th centuries. The exhibition’s collection will contextualise Singapore’s role as a trade hub in the Malay Archipelago at different points in the 14th, 16th and 19th centuries; highlight the local political and social structures present then; and offer a look into the interactions between the indigenous and European communities. 6 Highlights of the artefacts on display include a Bugis Iontara textile – on which Bugis origin myths and events during the Dutch colonial rule are embroidered; the Maleische Sprakakkunst dictionary – one of the first Dutch-Malay dictionaries which contains an index of Malay literary manuscripts that were found by its author, thus indicating the vibrant intellectual network already in place before the arrival of the Dutch; and materials from Malay manuscripts such as the Sejerah Melayu, Hikayat Hang Tuah, Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, Tuhfat al- Nafis and Hikayat Pelanduk Jenaka – which recorded historical events and myths of the Malay Archipelago. The list of highlight artefacts can be found in Annex A. Children’s Multisensory Space and Installations 7 How would you protect your island from an attack by the garfish? Children will be encouraged to role-play as lesser-known young historical characters at MHC’s first multisensory children’s space, Adventures in Nusantara. Presented in collaboration with The Ground Co Limited, a registered arts charity that manages The Artground, Adventures in Nusantara will bring characters and stories featured in the exhibition to life! Based on three young characters, Hang Nadim, Ali Wallace and Wah Hakim, Adventures in Nusantara will allow children aged 3 to 6 years old to learn more about Singapore’s history in a fun and relatable manner. Apart from the children’s space, MHC has also developed a series of educational resources, in a storybook format, to accompany the special exhibition. A Heritage Institution of 8 To further enrich the exhibition, the centre also worked with several regional Malay artists and local students to reinterpret selected myths and present historical facts through installations within MHC, and in the larger neighbouring precinct: Todak Attack Singapura! | Nanyang Polytechnic students and Speak Cryptic – a multimedia retelling of the legend of Bukit Merah from the Sejarah Melayu, with – imagine this – the Sultan having a WhatsApp conversation with his advisors (Presented at Malay Heritage Centre) Of Monsoons & Movement | Nanyang Polytechnic students – a multimedia and interactive mapping of the maritime routes of the Malay World (Presented at Malay Heritage Centre) Ke-Datanganku, Dari Laut ke Tanahmu (My Arrival, From the Sea to Your Land) | Nhawfal Juma’at – an installation inspired by the full of a jong boat – a traditional Malay vessel once used through the archipelago – which references the history of migration and exploration into Singapore (Presented at Kallang Riverside Park) Kami Berlabuh ke Garis Magenta (We Docked by the Magenta Line) | Fyerool Darma – a reimagination of a shophouse display in the heart of Kampong Gelam that reflects upon these place histories, in light of the district’s evolving identity as a site for tourism and heritage (Presented at Gedung Kuning) Kancil Menghadap Beringin (The Mousedeer comes before the Banyan Tree) | Shooshie Sulaiman – a mixed media depiction of two narratives from Malay folklore surrounding the dexterous mousedeer Sang Kancil and the tree of life (pohon beringin) (Presented at Malay Heritage Centre, from November 20191) Malay CultureFest 2019 9 From 11 October to 2 November 2019, the three-week Malay CultureFest 2019 will showcase a myriad of hybridised Malay cultural art forms such as bangsawan (opera or theatre), ronggeng (dance) and keroncong (music). Through more than 18 programmes and performances, the Malay CultureFest traces the cross-community developments and draws attention to the cultural significance behind these various artforms – for instance, how bangsawan was not just an opera or theatre performance but was once used as a political tool, and how keroncong is actually a marriage of music from the Portuguese and Nusantara. 1 Installation date to be confirmed A Heritage Institution of 10 MHC’s General Manager Asmah Alias added, “Our focus for MHC’s Malay CultureFest this year is to open up a conversation on the significance of the various Malay art forms, beyond the purpose of entertainment. We hope to highlight how many of the art forms still have social or political significance; and showcase the cross-cultural linkages and influences that have shaped our intangible cultural heritage. We hope that this will encourage visitors to widen their appreciation and understanding of the shared history across the Malay Archipelago.” 11 Highlights of the Malay CultureFest include: The festival’s opening piece, a special one-night-only theatrical performance which depicts key moments in Singapore’s history in a bangsawan or Malay operatic theatre style, and narrates the story of Singapore from the arrival of Sang Nila Utama to the British. Balada Tumasik (Ballad of Tumasik), a video mapping show on MHC’s façade, that retells the history of Singapore from its founding by Sang Nila Utama to the arrival of Raffles. Spanning some 700 years of Singapore’s history, audiences will be introduced to key moments from the island’s past. Lintas Nusantara, an annual collaborative dance festival featuring dancers and musicians from Singapore, Indonesia, and for the first time, the Philippines. The festival will showcase dance forms such as joget, ronggeng and sagayan that were inspired by colonial contact, and which highlight the often-turbulent relationship between coloniser and colonised. Keroncong Syurga Neraka, a musical showcase which pays tribute to the early forefathers and pioneers who have overcome great odds, by telling their stories through the various keroncong styles from throughout the Nusantara. This showcase also features rising star Jamilah Abu Bakar. 7etangga-A musical voyage (pronounced Tujuh Tetangga), a musical showcase which traces the history of communities that came and made Singapore their home. Featuring seven distinct ensembles including NADI Singapura, Sri Setia Pulau Singa, SG Oudist, Orkestar Trio, Sa The Collective with Cheryl Ong, Tamarind Sound Project with Govin Tan, Alfalah (Indonesia) and Nii Tagoe (UK) which collectively represent A Heritage Institution of the multicultural microcosm of Singapore, the showcase will see the groups performing and merging their distinct musical styles. 12 MHC has also worked closely with students from River Valley High School for Youth Invasion,

  • 96 Minorities and Minority Policy in Singapore John Clammer
    96 Minorities and Minority Policy in Singapore John Clammer Singapore Institute of Mareagement Introduction . Seen from the outside, Singapore society appears to fall fairly neatly into its three major segments: the Chinese majority, the substantial Malay minority and the smaller but very visible Indian community. And tacked on at the end are what are usually called the "others", in particular the Eurasian community. This picture of Singapore has given rise to what is often called the "CIMO" model - "Chinese-Indian-Malay-Other". But on closer analysis, this picture of the society as comprising three or four major blocs, set against one another (not in a confrontational sense, but as contrasting and mutually exclusive entities), becomes more and more inaccurate. Actually, Singapore is a society of minorities: either minorities within the bigger ethnic blocs and often concealed from view by their being lumped together within a single gross category, or minorities actually distinguished from other communities by religion, culture, origin and even occupation. ' The Cultural Mosaic This can be illustrated by looking at examples of these two types. Within the "Chinese" category one major and dominant group, defined by dialect and place of origin, can be easily recognized - the Hokkiens. But even then numerous sub-groups based upon specific town or country of origin occur within the Hokkien group. The same is true of the other large Chinese speech groups - the Teochews, Cantonese, Hainanese and Hakkas. Each is internally subdivided into numerous smaller groups differentiated by minor linguistic differences, place from which the first migrants came and questions of cultural detail, such as in cooking, religious or marriage observances.

  • The Malayic-Speaking Orang Laut Dialects and Directions for Research
    KARLWacana ANDERBECK Vol. 14 No., The 2 Malayic-speaking(October 2012): 265–312Orang Laut 265 The Malayic-speaking Orang Laut Dialects and directions for research KARL ANDERBECK Abstract Southeast Asia is home to many distinct groups of sea nomads, some of which are known collectively as Orang (Suku) Laut. Those located between Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula are all Malayic-speaking. Information about their speech is paltry and scattered; while starting points are provided in publications such as Skeat and Blagden (1906), Kähler (1946a, b, 1960), Sopher (1977: 178–180), Kadir et al. (1986), Stokhof (1987), and Collins (1988, 1995), a comprehensive account and description of Malayic Sea Tribe lects has not been provided to date. This study brings together disparate sources, including a bit of original research, to sketch a unified linguistic picture and point the way for further investigation. While much is still unknown, this paper demonstrates relationships within and between individual Sea Tribe varieties and neighbouring canonical Malay lects. It is proposed that Sea Tribe lects can be assigned to four groupings: Kedah, Riau Islands, Duano, and Sekak. Keywords Malay, Malayic, Orang Laut, Suku Laut, Sea Tribes, sea nomads, dialectology, historical linguistics, language vitality, endangerment, Skeat and Blagden, Holle. 1 Introduction Sometime in the tenth century AD, a pair of ships follows the monsoons to the southeast coast of Sumatra. Their desire: to trade for its famed aromatic resins and gold. Threading their way through the numerous straits, the ships’ path is a dangerous one, filled with rocky shoals and lurking raiders. Only one vessel reaches its destination.

  • A City in and Through Time: the Mannahatta Project
    ECOLOGY A City in and through Time: The Mannahatta Project Text and Images by Eric W. Sanderson Additional images as credited n September 12th, 1609, Henry Hudson 1 guided a small wooden vessel up the mighty O river that would one day be known by his name. On his right was a long, thin, wooded island, called by its inhabitants, Mannahatta. Four hundred years and some odd later, we know that same place as Manhattan. Today the island is densely filled with people and avenues as it was once with trees and streams. Where forests and wetlands once stood for millennia, skyscrapers and apartment buildings now pierce the sky. The screeching of tires and the wailing of sirens have replaced bird song and wolves howling at the moon. Extraordinary cultural diversity has replaced extraordinary biodiversity. In short, the transformation of Mannahatta into Manhattan typifies a global change of profound importance, the reworking of the Earth into cities made for men and women and the concomitant loss of memory about how truly glorious and abundant our world is. Mannahatta had more ecological communities per acre than Yellowstone, more native plant species per acre than Yosemite, and more birds than the Great Smoky Mountains, all National Parks in the United States today. Mannahatta housed wolves, black bears, mountain lions, beavers, mink, and river otters; whales, porpoises, seals, and the occasional sea turtle visited its harbor. Millions of birds of more than a hundred and fifty different species flew over the island annually on transcontinental migratory pathways; millions of fish—shad, herring, trout, sturgeon, and eel—swam past the island up the Hudson River and in its streams during annual rites of spring.

This study was carried out to analyse the restructuring of the community and the identification of indigeneous ethnic (Orang Laut) socialcultural interactions in Rengit, Minyak Beku and Kota Masai Johor. In particular, the study will involve aspects of the sociocultural life of the Orang Kuala Rengit, Minyak Beku and Kota Masai Johor, which include languages, economic activities, customs, and practices that are still practiced and things that have been modified in accordance with the factors around them. Analysing the process of adaptation is done closely by relating the process of interactions within groups, local communities, government agencies and the adaptation patterns that occurred. Besides that, the sustainability and the preservation of ethnic cultures of Orang Kuala in the social system as a whole and their impact on the development of the structure of community are examined. Qualitative method is used assisted by other study materials obtained such as field work, observation, ethnographic which are reinforced with library research such as documents and other materials related.
