  • Singapore's Chinese-Speaking and Their Perspectives on Merger

    Singapore's Chinese-Speaking and Their Perspectives on Merger

    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies, Volume 5, 2011-12 南方華裔研究雜志, 第五卷, 2011-12 “Flesh and Bone Reunite as One Body”: Singapore’s Chinese- speaking and their Perspectives on Merger ©2012 Thum Ping Tjin* Abstract Singapore’s Chinese speakers played the determining role in Singapore’s merger with the Federation. Yet the historiography is silent on their perspectives, values, and assumptions. Using contemporary Chinese- language sources, this article argues that in approaching merger, the Chinese were chiefly concerned with livelihoods, education, and citizenship rights; saw themselves as deserving of an equal place in Malaya; conceived of a new, distinctive, multiethnic Malayan identity; and rejected communist ideology. Meanwhile, the leaders of UMNO were intent on preserving their electoral dominance and the special position of Malays in the Federation. Finally, the leaders of the PAP were desperate to retain power and needed the Federation to remove their political opponents. The interaction of these three factors explains the shape, structure, and timing of merger. This article also sheds light on the ambiguity inherent in the transfer of power and the difficulties of national identity formation in a multiethnic state. Keywords: Chinese-language politics in Singapore; History of Malaya; the merger of Singapore and the Federation of Malaya; Decolonisation Introduction Singapore’s merger with the Federation of Malaya is one of the most pivotal events in the country’s history. This process was determined by the ballot box – two general elections, two by-elections, and a referendum on merger in four years. The centrality of the vote to this process meant that Singapore’s Chinese-speaking1 residents, as the vast majority of the colony’s residents, played the determining role.
  • The Maintenance of Malaysia's Minority Languages Haja

    The Maintenance of Malaysia's Minority Languages Haja

    THE MAINTENANCE OF MALAYSIA’S MINORITY LANGUAGES HAJA MOHIDEEN BIN MOHAMED ALI Department of English Language & Literature International Islamic University Malaysia [email protected] Abstract Malaysia, especially the states of Sabah and Sarawak are home to numerous indigenous languages. According to the Ethnologue Report for Malaysia (2009), Sabah is said to have 52 and Sarawak 46 languages. But among these many languages, many are spoken by a small population. These are in danger of facing extinction due to migration, attitudinal, social, educational and economic factors, mainly. This situation is similar to the many languages which are dying today worldwide. Since the Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia) is a potent force in bringing together the various Bumiputra and Muslim groups, the fate of native languages of these disparate groups is uncertain or worse doomed to die. However, measures by speakers of indigenous languages who comprise a sizeable number, for example, in the case of Sabah, Kadazan, Bajau, Bisaya and Murut languages may still be saved if they are maintained through concerted efforts by the affected communities and if government agencies help to play their part. This paper will discuss the various practical steps that may be undertaken by concerned individuals, the elders and leaders of the target minority communities themselves, language scholars and the state and federal governments to help maintain the minority indigenous languages, with particular emphasis on those from Sabah and Sarawak. Key words- minority language, identity, linguistic diversity, survival, loss Introduction Multilingualism and multiculturalism are indeed assets for a country and its people. The two contribute to the versatility and heterogeneity of a country‟s human landscape.

HSc. 1 Survival of the Minority Kristang Language in Malaysia Haja Mohideen Bin Mohamed Ali, Ph.D. Shamimah Mohideen, M.HSc. Abstract Kristang, also known as the Malaccan Portuguese Creole, has a strong influence of Portuguese, together with the Malay language which is the dominant local language in Malaysia and the Malay-speaking region in Southeast Asia. This Creole is spoken by a microscopic minority of Catholic Christians who are descendants of Portuguese colonizers and Asian settlers in Malacca. Malacca was once a historically renowned state and empire which was coveted by major European powers. The Dutch followed the Portuguese and the last were the British. Because of the very small number of Kristang community members (1200) in the present Portuguese Settlement assigned to them by the authorities, the Kristang language is clearly a language struggling to survive. Its vocabulary is largely Portuguese-based, with a substantial contribution from the Malay language. It has also borrowed from the languages of other colonial European powers. Their vocabulary also includes some loan words from Chinese and Indian languages. This minority language may yet be maintained with the fervent effort of the few thousand remaining Kristang speakers and the Malaysian government, particularly the state government of Melaka (or Malacca).

    Kodrah Kristang: the Initiative to Revitalize the Kristang Language in Singapore

    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 19 Documentation and Maintenance of Contact Languages from South Asia to East Asia ed. by Mário Pinharanda-Nunes & Hugo C. Cardoso, pp.35–121 http:/nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp19 2 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24906 Kodrah Kristang: The initiative to revitalize the Kristang language in Singapore Kevin Martens Wong National University of Singapore Abstract Kristang is the critically endangered heritage language of the Portuguese-Eurasian community in Singapore and the wider Malayan region, and is spoken by an estimated less than 100 fluent speakers in Singapore. In Singapore, especially, up to 2015, there was almost no known documentation of Kristang, and a declining awareness of its existence, even among the Portuguese-Eurasian community. However, efforts to revitalize Kristang in Singapore under the auspices of the community-based non-profit, multiracial and intergenerational Kodrah Kristang (‘Awaken, Kristang’) initiative since March 2016 appear to have successfully reinvigorated community and public interest in the language; more than 400 individuals, including heritage speakers, children and many people outside the Portuguese-Eurasian community, have joined ongoing free Kodrah Kristang classes, while another 1,400 participated in the inaugural Kristang Language Festival in May 2017, including Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and the Portuguese Ambassador to Singapore. Unique features of the initiative include the initiative and its associated Portuguese-Eurasian community being situated in the highly urbanized setting of Singapore, a relatively low reliance on financial support, visible, if cautious positive interest from the Singapore state, a multiracial orientation and set of aims that embrace and move beyond the language’s original community of mainly Portuguese-Eurasian speakers, and, by design, a multiracial youth-led core team.

Rethinking Contact in World Englishes What warrants this call for a rethinking of contact issues in Englishes in multilingual ecologies? Th e English language has, aft er all, been explicitly recognized as being contact-derived 1 —already from its very beginnings, that is, from the emergence of Old English from the contact of the Germanic dialects; and in the shaping of the language varieties on the British Isles, as a result of contact between Germanic, Celtic, and Romance languages, to give the present-day standardized and non-standardized English dialects (Filppula 2008; Davis 2010; Venneman 2011). Such contact has been foregrounded recently in collections such as that of Schreier and Hundt (2013), and in Onysko (2016), who argues that language contact be considered an underlying mechanism for all Englishes. Even more so then, the statement that world Englishes, as the collection of English varieties around the world, and World Englishes, as the fi eld of research, collectively owe their existence to language contact hardly needs mention nowadays.

    Statement on Behalf of the People's Action Party Of

    1 STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE'S ACTION PARTY OF SINGAPORE MADE AT THE MEETING OF THE BUREAU OF THE SOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL HELD IN LONDON ON 28-29 MAY 1976 By C.V. DEVAN NAIR Gentlemen, 1. CREDENTIALS First of all my personal credentials. Together with Lee Kuan Yew and others, I was one of the convenors of the People's Action Party in 1954. I was involved with the anti-colonial struggle, beginning with the Japanese Occupation. When many of my friends of Indian origin were joining Subhas Bose's Japanese-sponsored Indian National Army, I chose to cast my lot with sympathisers of the Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA), for I could not reconcile the Japanese penchant for head-chopping with the best interests of any people. As a result, in the last six months of the Japanese occupation, I was obliged to hide myself in the jungle. lky/1976/lky0528.doc 2 With the re-occupation, my interest shifted to the great anti- imperialist national liberation movements unleashed by Gandhi and Nehru in India, Mao Tse-tung in China and Soekarno in Indonesia. I joined the Malayan Democratic Union in 1947. I did not know then that it was a communist front organisation. It would not have mattered in any case. For I was then prepared to join forces with anybody at all, as long as they shared the common aim of bringing an end to colonialism. In 1950 I joined the Anti British League, an underground auxiliary of the Malayan Communist Party. I spent a total of five years, in two separate spells, in British prisons.

    OPENING WORDS FROM FESTIVAL DIRECTOR Teng bong! Nus mutu alegri bolotu ja beng juntah kung nus selebrah primiru Festa di Papia Kristang! As director of Kodrah Kristang — the initiative to revitalise Kristang in Singapore –I’m immensely excited and privileged to welcome you to the Lion City’s first ever Kristang Language Festival. Over the next two days, you can look forward to an exciting range of events showcasing Kristang and Eurasian history, heritage and culture, as well as some of our current and upcoming efforts to bring Kristang to a new generation of Singaporeans and to reach out to many of Singapore’s other constituent communities. On Saturday, join our panels and workshops and gain an in-depth look into the Kristang language and the community that still cherishes it as their own, before enjoying a unique showcase of the very best they have to offer at our Gala Dinner at Hotel Fort Canning. Then, on Sunday, compete for the honour of the Temenggong in The Southern Islands Board Game Competition, or share your perspective at our forum on Kristang and Eurasian identity, before exploring the diverse range of stories and voices on offer at our two signature community events, the Languages of Singapore Trail and Eurasian Stories, and a third panel on what you can do to preserve Singapore’s other community languages. This Festival has been an entirely community-led effort from its very modest beginnings in October 2016, and I have been at many times humbled by the energy and enthusiasm our amazing team of volunteers has put into conceptualising, developing and preparing for this Festival in just 8 short months.
