  • SEMENANJUNG TANAH MELAYU 2 Chedet.Co.Cc March 10, 2011 1
    SEMENANJUNG TANAH MELAYU 2 chedet.co.cc March 10, 2011 1. Someone asked what about the "Orang Asli" literally the "Original People". Weren't they in the peninsular before the Malays? 2. They could be. So are the Red Indians, the Maoris, the aborigines of Australia, the many tribal people in many countries of the world. 3. If we consider that the Orang Asli have more rights to claim Malaysia as their own then we should acknowledge and respect the rights of the Red Indians, the Maoris, the Australian aborigines and all the other aborigines to be given back the land we now call America, Australia, New Zealand etc. 4. Perhaps in recognition of their rights, they are now not so ill-treated and killed as they were when the Europeans seized their lands. But this is not the same as declaring that the countries belong to the people originally found there. 5. In Latin America there were native, indigenous or Orang Asli governments when the Europeans arrived. The Aztecs, the Mayas, the Incas had recognisable states. But the Spaniards and the Portuguese conquered their lands and set up new States and Governments. The world have recognised these states. 6. In Malaysia the Orang Asli are as much citizens of the country as are the people of other races. They had never set up their own states and governments. 7. When the Europeans came, the governments and the states they had to deal with were Malay. All treaties were made with the Malay Governments. Even the Japanese recognised the existence of these Malay States when they drove the British out of the peninsular.

  • Memory, Movement, Mobility: Vol
    Special Issue: Geospatial Memory Media Theory Memory, Movement, Mobility: Vol. 2 | No. 1 | 245-265 © The Author(s) 2018 Affect-full Encounters with CC-BY-NC-ND http://mediatheoryjournal.org/ Memory in Singapore DANIELLE DROZDZEWSKI UNSW Sydney, Australia Stockholm University, Sweden Abstract Memory, movement and mobility characterise our everyday being. Our bodies are in constant processes of motion: our body remembers movement. Memory of movement, of and in the body, is key to our capacity to move, even if we are not aware that we are remembering movement. Mobility with, from, and in the body is (re)produced and performed by a repertoire of movements, orchestrated (for the most part) synchronously. While studies of mobility have received much recent scholarly attention, the interlinkages between memory, movement and mobility have received far less attention (see Anderson, 2004 and Casey, 2000 for notable exceptions). In redressing this omission, this paper delves into the relationship between memory, movement and mobility by directing its lens on two themes: body memory, that is memory of and in the body felt through movement, and movement and mobility, that is how mobility influences our capacities to remember, what we remember while mobile, and how specific sites of memory are designed with mobility in mind. I consider intersections of mobility and memory in the context of empirical work undertaken at sites of Singaporean World War II commemoration. I used my body as a tool for this research; I felt and read memory at the memorial sites. I also used movement through the sites. Being mobile prompted consideration of how movement, spontaneous and along designed pathways, at/through/with these memory sites, influenced memory, its (re)production, transmission and/or performance.
