There’s astonishing natural beauty to take in too, including gorgeous beaches and some of the world’s oldest tropical rainforest, much of which is surprisingly accessible. Malaysia’s national parks are superb for trekking and wildlife-watching, and sometimes for cave exploration and river rafting. As part of the Malay archipelago, which stretches from Indonesia to the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei share not only similarities in their ethnic make-up but also part of their history. Each became an important port of call on the trade route between India and China, the two great markets of the early world, and later became important entrepôts for the Portuguese, Dutch and British empires. Malaysia has only existed in its present form since 1963, when the federation of the eleven Peninsula states was joined by Singapore and the two Bornean territories of Sarawak and Sabah. Singapore didn’t last even two years inside Malaysia, becoming an independent city-state in 1965; Brunei chose to stay outside the federation and only became independent of the British in 1984. Since then, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei have been united in their economic predominance among Southeast Asian nations. While Brunei is locked into a paternalistic regime, using its considerable oil wealth to guarantee its citizens a respectable standard of living, Singapore has become a giant in commerce, having transformed itself from a strategic port. Malaysia, always competitive with its southern neighbour, is pursuing a similarly ambitious goal, to which end the country is investing heavily in new infrastructure, from highways to ports and factories. Today, the dominant cultural force in the region is undoubtedly Islam, adopted by the ABOVE PERHENTIAN ISLANDS OPPOSITE ORANG-UTAN, SEPILOK INTRODUCTION 5 Malays in the fourteenth century, though in Chinese-dominated Singapore, Buddhism and Taoism together hold sway among half the population. But it’s the religious plurality – there are also sizeable Christian and Hindu minorities – that is so attractive, often providing surprising juxtapositions of mosques, temples and churches. Add the colour and verve of Chinese temples and street fairs, Indian festival days and everyday life in Malay kampungs (villages), as well as the indigenous traditions of Borneo, and it’s easy to see why visitors are drawn into this celebration of ethnic diversity; indeed, despite some issues, both Malaysia and Singapore have something to teach the rest of the world when it comes to building successful multicultural societies. Where to go Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur (usually referred to as KL), is the social and economic driving force of a nation eager to better itself, a fact reflected in the relentless proliferation of air-conditioned shopping malls, designer bars and restaurants in the city, and in the continuing sprawl of suburbia and industry around it. But KL is also firmly rooted in tradition, where the same Malay executives who wear suits to work dress in traditional clothes at festival times, and markets and food stalls are crowded in among high-rise hotels and bank towers, especially in older areas such as Chinatown and Little India. Just a couple of hours’ drive south of the capital lies the birthplace of Malay civilization, Melaka, its historical architecture and mellow atmosphere making it a must on anybody’s itinerary. Much further up the west coast, the island of Penang was the site of the first British settlement in Malaysia. Its capital, George Town, still features beautifully restored 0 100 Metres 100 kilometres N 3000 N Sipadan 2000 Semporna kilometres Lahad Datu Lahad 1000 0 u Sandakan 500 awa Hat Yai T Pattani 200 Tarakan r 100 e v i R THAILAND PHILIPPINES n 0 a Yala g Narathiwat n a E1 t a b a n Langkawi i Tumpat K Banggi SABAH (4101m) Alor Star Kudat Mount Kinabalu Mount Kinabalu ULU Kota Bharu MALAYSIA MUDA 3 Perhentian 8 ROYAL 4 Tenom BELUM Redang 67 4 s George Town 76 Kuala Krai 3 Mount Murud (2438m) h Kota Kinabalu Kota E15 Lawa Beaufort Long Long Aka Penang Kuala Terengganu S K 76 T PAR MULU Labuan INDONESIA NATIONAL 1 KELABI KALIMANTAN 3 HIGHLAND Gua Musang Taiping Kenyir E Limbang A Kuala Kangsar S Lake T r Mount Tahan e C Dungun v O i (2187m) A BEGAWAN R S Ba am Akah Long T r 1 BANDAR SERI BANDAR TAMAN H I G NEGARA H Ipoh CAMERON W A Y SARAWAK MALAYSIA Miri B HIGHLANDS PENINSULAR K A r e N BRUNEI MALAYSIA PAR NIAH v 1 i J R Pangkor A Kuala Lipis NATIONAL r h Belaga e e R v l MALAYSIA i a R A B N g n 8 a 71 j Jerantut e Y R Fraser’s WA IGH H Hill AST CO ST A Bintulu Raub E 2 Kuantan Kapit T I T r I 2 2 e v W i E1 Kanowit A Pekan R N E8 g Temerloh n G ja S e Kuala Selangor R A 12 Bera Sibu Klang Mukah KUALA LUMPUR Lake 3 9 Tioman 1 11 12 ENDAU Segamat Sri Aman Seremban ROMPIN Gemas 1 Mersing 5 E2 Melaka 1 Muar Kluang Tebedu 5 3 Kuching SUMATRA Dumai 50 Sematan INDONESIA Johor Bahru SINGAPORE THAILAND N Subi Batam Penang BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN PENINSULAR SABAH BRUNEI Bunguran MALAYSIA KUALA LUMPUR Bintan INDONESIA INDONESIA INDONESIA 0 500 200 100 SARAWAK 2000 3000 2000 1000 Johor Bahru Metres INDONESIA SINGAPORE kilometres 0 100 Metres 100 kilometres N 3000 N Sipadan 2000 Semporna kilometres Lahad Datu Lahad 1000 0 u Sandakan 500 awa Hat Yai T Pattani 200 Tarakan r 100 e v i R THAILAND PHILIPPINES n 0 a Yala g Narathiwat n a E1 t a b a n Langkawi i Tumpat K Banggi SABAH (4101m) Alor Star Kudat Mount Kinabalu Mount Kinabalu ULU Kota Bharu MALAYSIA MUDA 3 Perhentian 8 ROYAL 4 Tenom BELUM Redang 67 4 s George Town 76 Kuala

  • The Educator's Guide
    Resources A Guide for Secondary School Educators The Educator’s Guide Created in conjunction with the exhibition, SINGAPO人: Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture This exhibition examines how the Chinese community in Singapore developed its own distinctive culture. Here, visitors discover and rediscover what it means to be a Chinese Singaporean. The aim is to develop a stronger sense of the Chinese Singaporean identity amongst youths. This will help foster a greater sense of belonging while giving them an understanding of how we are similar to or different from other Chinese communities. This exhibition presents Chinese Singaporean culture through daily life in Singapore – through the things we see, hear, do and eat every day. Therefore, the experience is highly interactive where visitors can touch various stations, play games, listen to stories and have a dialogue with the gallery. Through this exhibition, we will explore ideas of: Chinese heritage Cultural interactions Public policies The exhibition content extends classroom learning and teaching, by complementing History, Social Studies and Character & Citizenship Education subjects taught in secondary schools. It is also self-guided, where students can learn and explore independently. One of the main interactive features of the exhibition is the use of wristband tags. Students can tap their wristband tags to answer questions scattered throughout the space, trigger videos and play games. At the end of the visit, students can print out their own personalised report card which summarises their exhibition journey along with prompts for further cultural exploration beyond the exhibition. This report card serves as a starting point for them to reflect about their identity in relation to everyday life.

  • Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-Border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia Nuurrianti Jalli* and Yearry Panji Setianto** Previous studies on transnational media have emphasized transnational media organizations and tended to ignore the role of cross-border content, especially in a non-Western context. This study aims to fill theoretical gaps within this scholarship by providing an analysis of the Southeast Asian media sphere, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia in a historical context—transnational media flow before 2010. The two neighboring nations of Indonesia and Malaysia have many things in common, from culture to language and religion. This study not only explores similarities in the reception and appropriation of transnational content in both countries but also investigates why, to some extent, each had a different attitude toward content pro- duced by the other. It also looks at how governments in these two nations control the flow of transnational media content. Focusing on broadcast media, the study finds that cross-border media flow between Indonesia and Malaysia was made pos- sible primarily in two ways: (1) illicit or unintended media exchange, and (2) legal and intended media exchange. Illicit media exchange was enabled through the use of satellite dishes and antennae near state borders, as well as piracy. Legal and intended media exchange was enabled through state collaboration and the purchase of media rights; both governments also utilized several bodies of laws to assist in controlling transnational media content. Based on our analysis, there is a path of transnational media exchange between these two countries.

The rapid diet transition in the region is leading to a high prevalence of non-communicable diseases. The aim of this exploratory study was to document traditional foods and beverages and associated traditional knowledge that have potential positive health impacts, from selected countries in the region. The study also focused on identifying their importance in the prevention and management of lifestyle-related diseases and nutritional deficiencies as well as for the improvement of the overall health and wellbeing. This was conducted in selected locations in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal through a qualitative method with a pre-tested documentation format. Through a detailed documentation of their health benefits, the study tries to highlight the significance of traditional foods in public health as well as their relevance to local market economies towards sustainable production and consumption and sustainable community livelihoods.
