    Zubir Said: a Man Made of Music by Perera, Loretta Marie, Written in August 2010 National Library Board, Singapore

    ARTICLE Zubir Said: A Man Made of Music by Perera, Loretta Marie, written in August 2010 National Library Board, Singapore Driven by his love for music, Zubir Said’s work, headlined by Singapore’s national anthem Majulah Singapura, has become an important part of the nation’s history and culture. Despite rapid social change and development, his traditional yet modern works, underscored by a timeless sensibility, remain as relevant and evocative as they have always been. Born in Bukittinggi, Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Indonesia, on July 22, 1907, Zubir Said grew up under the care of his uncle, a musician, after the death of his mother when he was seven years old. He never had an interest in studies until a teacher introduced him to Solfa music, the teaching of notes sung to a syllable ( do, re, mi). This served as the starting point of what would become a lifelong love affair with music. Once regarded as “the most respected maestro in both practical and theoretical aspects of Malay music”, Zubir showed a strong inclination towards music from an early age, learning the flute in primary school, followed by the guitar and drums in middle school. Despite strong objections from his father, who wanted his eldest child to succeed him as village chieftain, he became a member of a keroncong group instead. While travelling through Sumatra with his group, a sailor friend told him of the “glittering lights, kopi susu (coffee with milk) and butter” of Singapore. He then made his way to Singapore in the hope of developing a career in music.

MODEL ASEAN MEETING: A GUIDEBOOK UNDERSTANDING ASEAN PROCESSES AND MECHANISMS Model ASEAN Meeting: A Guidebook FOREWORD The ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting (AFMAM) is a unique platform that not only enables youth to learn about ASEAN and its decision-making process effectively through an authentic learning environment, but also encourages the creation of a peaceful commu- nity and tolerance towards different value and cultural background. Through AFMAM, we also wanted to produce a cohort of ASEAN youth that has the capabilities to create and run their own Model ASEAN Meeting (MAM) at their own universities, initiating a ripple effect that helps spread MAM movement across the region. One of the key instruments to achieve these objectives is the AFMAM Guidebook. First created in 2016, the AFMAM Guidebook plays an important role in outlining the mecha- nisms and structures in ASEAN that can be used as a reference for delegates to implement activities and have a broader understanding of ASEAN affairs.

    Onward, Singapore) Was Intended by the Nation’S Founding Fathers As a Positive Affirmation, It Must Be Working

    ARTICLE FOR THE EDGE ONWARD SINGAPORE! If the anthem Majulah Singapura (Onward, Singapore) was intended by the nation’s founding fathers as a positive affirmation, it must be working. Singapore celebrates its 53rd birthday today as a vibrant and flourishing city-state. In his National Day address, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Singaporeans enjoy a good quality of life, better than many others in the world. “Our economy continues to grow steadily, around three to 3.5 percent in recent years, productivity is improving and incomes are rising,” he said. In 2017, Singapore was ranked as the world’s top maritime capital by Menon Economics, beating Hamburg and Oslo. It is still Southeast Asia’s top port of call despite competition from Malaysia’s Port Klang and Tanjung Pelepas. Singapore is also the top air transport hub. Its Changi Airport processed a record 62.2 million passengers in 2017 and airfreight grew 7.9 percent to 2.13 million tonnes, beating back growing competition from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport. As a financial centre, Singapore is fourth-placed behind London, New York and Hong Kong with total assets under management worth SGD2.7 trillion (US$1.9 trillion) in 2016. Its 2017 gross domestic product (GDP) was SGD447,283 million (US$328,088 million). The economy grew 4.3 percent year-on-year in 1Q18 and 3.8 percent in 2Q18. 1 In June, Singapore gained international prestige when it hosted a summit meeting between United States (US) President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Chairman, Kim Jong-un.
  • The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” I. Introduction

    The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” I. Introduction

    2017/06/26 DISCUSSION PAPERS The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” Iwao Fujisawa The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” Iwao Fujisawa∗ I. Introduction What contribution has ASEAN made to the improvement of political and social conditions of Myanmar? Some might say that their contribution is outstanding. Others might argue that their influence has been negligible compared to the pressure exerted by the United States and European countries. What is notable is that the answer to this question is to some extent dependent on the one’s view on the ASEAN’s time-honored policy of non-intervention in the affairs of other states. When the domestic conditions of Myanmar began to deteriorate in 1990s, Western developed countries sharply denounced the military regime of Myanmar and imposed sanctions in order to isolate Myanmar in the international community. However, ASEAN and its member states were critical of such policies because they were hostile and interventionist. They instead advocated the “constructive engagement” policy, stressing dialogue and persuasion as the appropriate means to improve the situation in Myanmar. A former ASEAN official argued that economic sanctions were generally not effective in attaining the regime change and those imposed by the United States and European countries only harmed the people of Myanmar. In his opinion, although the constructive engagement with Myanmar did not bring about regime change either, it could attain some improvement in the living standard of the people of Myanmar through its integration in the global economy, that is, through opening foreign markets for products of Myanmar and inducing foreign investment into Myanmar.

    86 Full Paper Mapping of Public Places: Integration of Mobile Devices and Conventional Mapping to Investigate Place Identity in Muar, Malaysia Muhamad Bin Rosley1, Eckart Lange2, Kevin Thwaites1 1Department of Landscape, University of Sheffield, UK 2Department of Landscape, University of Sheffield, UK · [email protected] Abstract: Advancement in technology provides new opportunities for mapping. Human factors need to be considered when implementing this advanced technology, mainly in the context of humans’ per- ceptions and engagement. A combination of digital technology and conventional approaches offers possibilities to cater for different group of participants. This paper aims to highlight the roles of map- ping technique as a tool to empower residents in identifying spaces that they believed to portray their local identity in Muar, the royal town of Johor. During the investigation of place identity in Muar, 150 participants were given choices to elicit their preferences by sketching polygons either via online soft- ware on an IPad or an A3 sized printed map. They were asked to identify places that located within the targeted area by referring to a provided list of 15 landscape features. The results were then processed using GIS in order to show spaces and places that are significant and contribute to the identity of place in Muar, as a modern royal town of Johor Sultanate, Malaysia. Keywords: Place mapping, mobile devices, GIS, place identity 1 Introduction Human has regarded map as a very powerful tool to demonstrate power, military strategy, the sovereignty of nations and claiming over one another resources (PÁNEK & VLOK 2013). From these political intentions, the use of maps changed tremendously to cater more common and practical aspects of human beings.

  • Piracy and Political Economy in Malaya, 1824- 1874

    Piracy and Political Economy in Malaya, 1824- 1874

    ABSTRACT A COVERT WAR AT SEA: PIRACY AND POLITICAL ECONOMY IN MALAYA, 1824- 1874 Scott C. Abel, PhD Department of History Northern Illinois University, 2016 Eric A. Jones, Director Piracy around the Malay Peninsula during the 19th century was extraordinarily prevalent and resulted in the death and loss of liberty for an untold number of people. This dissertation examines the connections between the piracy of this era and the political economies of the Straits Settlements and the Malay states in the region. Malays pirates often had the support of local rulers who required the goods and slaves brought back by pirates to reinforce their own political and socio-economic positions. The piratical system supported by the rulers was a component of the overall Malay economic system known as kerajaan economics, which helped maintain the status quo for Malay states. This system came under threat once Great Britain and the Netherlands worked to suppress piracy in the region and helped persuade the Malay elite to phase out state-sanctioned piracy. Some people living in Malaya took advantage of the characteristics of British and Malay political economies to engage in acts of piracy regardless of the policies of the British and Malay governments. This study of piracy enables us to understand better the experiences of people of various backgrounds living in 19th-century Malaya, along with how piracy influenced their worldviews.
