Download or read book Museums History and Culture in Malaysia written by Abu Talib Ahmad and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the half century following Malaysian independence in 1957, the country’s National Museum underwent a transformation that involved a shift from serving as a repository for displays of mounted butterflies and stuffed animals and accounts of the colonial experience to an overarching national narrative focused on culture and history. These topics are sensitive and highly disputed in Malaysia, and many of the country’s museums contest the narrative that underlies displays in the National Museum, offering alternative treatments of subjects such as Malaysia's pre-Islamic past, the history and heritage of the Melaka sultanate, memories of the Japanese Occupation, national cultural policy, and cultural differences between the Federation’s constituent states. In Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia, Abu Talib Ahmad examines museum displays throughout the country, and uses textual analysis of museum publications along with interviews with serving and retired museum officers to evaluate changing approaches to exhibits and the tensions that they express, or sometimes create. In addition to the National Museum, he considers museums and memorials in Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Kelantan and Terengganu, as well as memorials dedicated to national heroes (such as former Prime Ministers Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, and film and recording artist P. Ramlee). The book offers rich and fascinating insights into differing versions of the country’s character and historical experience, and efforts to reconcile these sometimes disparate accounts.

Download or read book Malaysia and the Cold War Era written by Ooi Keat Gin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the end of the Second World War in 1945 to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, there was a great deal of turmoil, tension and violence in what became Malaysia as a result of the 1963 Federation; upheavals included the Malayan Emergency of 1948・1960, the independence of Malaya in 1957, Konfrontasi with Indonesia of 1963・1966, the Philippines’ claim to Sabah, the Sarawak Communist Insurgency (1962・1990) and the Second Malayan Emergency of 1968・1989. This book breaks new ground in arguing for a longer trajectory of the Cold War, tracing this phenomenon back to 1920s’ colonial Malaya and Sarawak. Many new research findings showing how Malaysia coped with and overcame the many trials, challenges and difficulties are presented here, further enriching the historiography.

Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives in English Language Studies Linguistics and Literature Penerbit USM written by Sarjit Kaur and published by Penerbit USM. This book was released on 2014-11 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussing contemporary perspectives and new developments in the field of English language studies has gained ascendancy in view of the fact that such concerns about learning and teaching English make important contributions to society. Such discussions are of critical importance in today’s globalised societies and more needs to be done towards collaboratively presenting the growing wealth of quality research in linguistics and literature. Linguists and scholars continue to champion the need to interrogate the discourse of literary and language texts using a number of critical frameworks that help sensitise readers to the ideological nature of literary discourse and the ways in which certain dominant ideas of nation, race, ethnicity and gender are ratified or challenged. Readers need to be constantly challenged to think, interpret and evaluate differing views and perspectives. The collection of chapters in this book explores contemporary issues and perspectives in linguistics and literature among educators and researchers whose primary focus is to examine the manner in which English is used for various educational purposes from traditional curriculum demands to answering broader questions about human knowledge, global citizenship and social engagement.

Book excerpt: Saudara YB Steven Sim sudah lama akrab dengan Hang Tuah, wira Malaysia dan Nusantara ini, selalu mengikuti dan menyumbang kepada wacananya, serta menambah sudut pandangannya sebagai warga Malaysia yang moden yang bangga dengan Hikayat besar ini. . . . Saya sangat teruja bahawa Saudara YB Steven Sim, dengan segala ghairahnya, turut menjadikan Hang Tuah simbol “Malaysia Baharu”, simbol untuk semua rakyat Malaysia. Profesor Dr Muhammad Haji Salleh, Sasterawan Negara Sebagai salah seorang ahli politik-sarjana yang menjadi harapan Malaysia hari ini, keterpesonaan Steven Sim terhadap budaya Melayu dan sejarah Melayu telah sedia masyhur diketahui umum. Dalam mengkaji dan menganalisis fenomena Hang Tuah, Steven Sim mengemukakan persoalan etnografi utama mengenai zaman ketika mana Melaka menguasai budaya dan perdagangan di seluruh laut Nusantara, yang berpotensi mengubah pandangan etno-nasionalistik moden mengenai kerancakan dunia kosmopolitan di mana Hang Tuah bukan sahaja tumbuh “membesar” malah turut “mencorakkannya”. Dato' Dr Ooi Kee Beng, Pengarah Eksekutif, Penang Institute Saya yakin ada beberapa orang sahaja pemimpin Melayu yang pernah membaca naskhah ini sehingga selesai. Seseorang pemimpin yang dapat membaca dan menelah fikiran bangsanya akan dapat melakukan yang lebih baik – berkhidmat – dan saya percaya itu sebabnya YB Steven Sim ingin berkongsikan apa yang beliau baca, dan kekagumannya kepada naskhah ini.
