  • Nature Society (Singapore)'S Position on Bukit Brown
    Nature Society (Singapore)’s Position on Bukit Brown Summary The Bukit Brown Cemetery has garnered a good deal of attention recently following the announcement of plans to build a road that will serve as an improved alternative to Lornie Road as an integral component of Singapore’s Outer Ring Road System. The Nature Society (Singapore) has studied the natural heritage of the Bukit Brown for over twenty years and feels that alternatives to current plans for the area can be considered; alternatives that will boost the already‐substantial value of the area to Singaporeans and to the nation’s natural heritage without unduly compromising the integrity of Singapore’s road and transportation network. We believe that gains in ecosystem services, sustainability of our threatened natural heritage, and enhanced educational and recreational opportunities for Singaporeans can more than justify seeking alternatives to current plans for the area. 1 I. Background Map 1 The nature area of attention is the general area bounded by Kheam Hock Road, the Pan‐Island Expressway (PIE), Thomson Road and Lornie Road, excluding the Police Academy, the Singapore Polo Club, the Caldecott Hill Estate, and the Caldecott Broadcast Centre, but including the Mount Pleasant Road housing estate (refer to Map 1). The area is estimated to be about 233 hectares in size. Over the decades, wild vegetation such as the following trees ‐ Terentang (Campnosperma auriculatum), Giant Mahang (Macaranga gigantea), Waringin (Ficus benjamina), Albizia (Paraserianthes falcataria), African Tulip (Spathodea campanulata) – and many others have colonized and proliferated all over the cemetery, transforming a large part of it into woodlands interspersed with patches of grasslands and scrubland.

  • Consuming Femininity: Nation-Nation -S--State,Sstate, Gender and Singaporean Chinese Women
    Consuming Femininity: NationNation----sssstate,tate, Gender and Singaporean Chinese Women by Wendy Poh Yoke Chew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy undertaken at the University of Western Australia 2007 Declaration I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work and that it has not been submitted for a degree or award at this or any other university. To my knowledge it does not contain material previously published or written by another person where due reference has not been made in the text. Wendy Chew Submitted 31 August 2006 2 Abstract My research seeks to understand ways in which English-educated Chinese women in cosmopolitan Singapore bolstered their identity while living under the influences of Confucian values, patriarchal nation-building and racial concerns. My thesis examines women who have themselves been lost in translation when they were co-opted into the creation of a viable state after 1965. Often women are treated as adjuncts in the patriarchal state, particularly since issues of gender are not treated with the equality they deserve in the neo-Confucian discourse. This thesis takes an unconventional approach to how women have been viewed by utilizing primary sources including Her World and Female magazines from the 1960s and 1990s, and subsequent material from the blogosphere. I analyze images of women in these magazines to gain an understanding of how notions of gender and communitarianism/race intersect. By looking at government-sponsored advertising, my work also investigates the kind of messages the state was sending out to these women readers.

  • Musical Practices of South Indian Film in Singapore
    ARTICLE Musical practices of South Indian film in Singapore Introduction References to music of Indian popular film in Singapore are located in two entries. The first of them is in a 1954 publication, Arts of Malaya , where Tony Beamish observed Hindustani music…[was]…popular far beyond the confines of the Indian…communities…interesting experiments in Western orchestration can now be heard in both. At the same time, traditional skill is being maintained and the more esoteric forms of communal music continue to be played in Malaya. Of these, Carnatic songs… have an enthusiastic following in the country, and are supported not only by local arts societies but by the occasional visits of distinguished performers from…India and other parts of South-East Asia. 1 Given that Malaya in 1954 included Singapore, the practice of music of Indian popular film in Singapore is notable not so much by its presence but by its brevity of description. Moreover, Beamish’s articulation of the popularity of Hindustani music is curious. Was it Hindustani classical, folk or film music? How did Carnatic songs have an enthusiastic following when Hindustani music was popular beyond the Indian community? What are the interesting experiments in Western orchestration that Beamish observed in Hindustani music? How did this popularity come about if an Indian community comprised no more than 12% of the entire immigrant and indigenous population in Singapore, not to mention a South Indian majority within this small proportion?2 A later entry by Lee Tong Soon on Music in Singapore in the Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians makes the following observations: The majority of Indians in Singapore speak Tamil, while other large groups include the Malayalis, Punjabis, Sindhis, Bengalis, and Gujaratis.
