Book excerpt: This is my journey through life since 1965. My grandfather might say that this is an untold story of a Malayalee immigrant from Malabar who migrated to Malaya (now called Malaysia) in search of a better future and never to return for 3 generations! The lost social network of one generation led to the lost roots of our entire family tree.My first ancestor, my great-grandpa, landed in Malaya in 1902 followed by my two grandpa and one grandma who came when the British were ruling Malaya. They would not have guessed that it was going to be a one-way journey out of home. None of them ever went back to their homeland nor saw their siblings, family or village ever again.The Japanese invasion of Malaya in 1940 (until 1944) during the Second World War further disrupted the ties to India. By the end of the war, my dad and his family has shifted from a rubber plantation (Wessington Estate, now called Simpang Renggam Estate) to their paddy field house in Simpang Renggam and finally to the plantation where we lived thereafter.I was born in a plantation house (not a hospital) and my birth certificate was "processed" in a police station. My birth certificate states my place of birth as "barrack Lambak Estate". That is how I arrived earth in 1965.I grew up in a rubber plantation, Lambak Estate in Kluang (state of Johore) owned by Guthrie Ropel Berhad, a British plantation company. I soon to became an unpaid under-aged labour helping my parents tap rubber trees starting at 04:30 in the morning amongst the mosquitoes and snakes; smacking into spider webs between the trees and getting my socks soaked with water from the wet bushes surrounding the rubber trees.Our dining table starts with a perfect setting after pay-day and dwindles into a lack of food by end of the month. The vicious cycle seems to never end year after year.I went to Tunku Mahmood School in Kluang and then to Sekolah Tinggi Kluang (i.e. Kluang High School). Fortunately, in the years to come, I graduated as a Chemical Engineer from University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur and that changed our "fate" by placing food on our table consistently. As I set sail on my career, my life took various positive turns that brought me to be a Company Director, occasionally signing cheques with six digits in them (in Malaysian Ringgit!).I must thank the Malaysian government that gave affordable education, health care and a great economy that helped me climb through these steps of life.As I look out of my office window on the 33rd Floor of Latifa Tower, Dubai, I see that it took me 7 hours to travel 5,236 km on Emirates flight EK347 to get here ... but it took me many million hours to crawl out of the poverty that I was born into.This book shares some of the turbulent and smooth parts of my journey that took me through episodes of pain, gain, glory and gratification.
Book Synopsis Singapore Ethnic Mosaic, The: Many Cultures, One People by : Mathews Mathew
Download or read book Singapore Ethnic Mosaic, The: Many Cultures, One People written by Mathews Mathew and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from being a melting pot, multi-racial Singapore prides itself on the richness of its ethnic communities and cultures. This volume provides an updated account of the heterogeneity within each of the main communities — the Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian and Others. It also documents the ethnic cultures of these communities by discussing their histories, celebrations, cultural symbols, life cycle rituals, cultural icons and attempts to preserve culture. While chapters are written by scholars drawing insight from a variety of sources ranging from academic publications to discussions with community experts, it is written in an accessible way. This volume seeks to increase intercultural understanding through presenting ample insights into the cultural beliefs and practices of the different ethnic communities. While this book is about diversity, a closer examination of the peoples and cultures of Singapore demonstrates the many similarities communities share in this Singaporean space.

Book Synopsis Australia's Asian Sporting Context, 1920s – 30s by : Sean Brawley
Download or read book Australia's Asian Sporting Context, 1920s – 30s written by Sean Brawley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Australia’s sporting relationships with the Asian region during the interwar period. Until now, Australia’s sporting relationships with the Asian region have been neglected by scholars of Australian and Asian sports history, and the broader field of Australia’s Asian context. Concentrating on the period of the 1920s and 1930s – when sporting relationships between Australia and a number of Asian nations emerged in a variety of sports – this book demonstrates the depth of these previously under-examined connections. The book challenges, and complicates, the broader historiography of Australia’s Asian context – a historiography that has been strongly influenced by the White Australia Policy and the Pacific War. Why, for example, did white Australia so warmly welcome visiting Japanese sportsmen at a time when the Pacific region appeared to be inexorably sliding into a war that was informed by racial antagonisms? This book examines sporting relations between Australia and seven Asian countries (China, Japan, India, Netherlands East Indies, Philippines, Malaya and Singapore) and a range of sports including rugby, football, swimming, hockey, boxing, cricket and tennis. This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Book excerpt: Place names tell us much about a country — its history, its landscape, its people, its aspirations, its self-image, The study of place names called toponymics unlocks the stories that are in every street name and landmark. In Singapore, the existence of various races, cultures and languages, as well as its history of colonization, immigration and nationalism has given rise to a complex history of place names. But how did these places get their names? This revised and expanded 4th edition of the book incorporates additional information, from archival research as well as interviews that have come to light since the last edition. Also included are many new entries that have presented themselves as Singapore’s built environment undergoes redevelopment. Expanded by over 100 pages.
