From Self-Awareness To Greatness
Self-Awareness is often viewed as the cornerstone for personal and leadership successes. By having a conscious knowledge of your character, and understanding your natural tendency to act in a way that energises and recharges you throughout the day, making achievements in life would simply be a walk in the park. Unfortunately, such a simple pathway to achievement is often obscured by the general consensus such as: “what a best salesman should do”, and “how a great leader should behave”. Attempting to fit into the “mould of a great leader” or the “mould of a good salesman”, would not only prevent you from achieving your goals, it would make you appear cringey, or worse, drain a...

House of Glass
Drawing on critical theory and post-modernism, this book argues for a new strategy for writing about the social and cultural experiences of living in modern Southeast Asian states. Contributors -- many of whom work in universities in the region -- question the processes of cultural transformation under conditions of globalization and rapid economic and political change. By paying attention to the specificity of what is taking place in the particular state, the book questions the conventional narratives of developmentalism and state-sponsored national peace as they are understood in Southeast Asia, and shows how such understanding can be made and unmade.
Admiral Matelieff's Singapore and Johor, 1606-1616
Few authors have as much to say about Singapore and Johor in the early 17th century as Cornelis Matelieff de Jonge (c.1570‒1632). This admiral of the Dutch East India Company sailed to Asia in 1605 and besieged Portuguese Melaka in 1606 with the help of Malay allies. A massive Portuguese armada arrived from Goa to fight the Dutch at sea, break the siege and relieve the Portuguese colony. During his Asian voyage and on his return to Europe in September 1608, Matelieff penned a series of letters and memorials in which he provided a candid assessment of trading opportunities and politics in Asia. He advised the VOC and leading government officials of the Dutch Republic to take a long term vie...
Chinese Street Opera in Singapore
Since Singapore declared independence from Malaysia in 1965, Chinese street opera has played a significant role in defining Singaporean identity. Carefully tracing the history of amateur and professional performances in Singapore, Tong Soon Lee reflects on the role of street performance in fostering cultural nationalism and entrepreneurship. He explains that the government welcomes Chinese street opera performances because they combine tradition and modernism and promote a national culture that brings together Singapore's four main ethnic groups--Eurasian, Malay, Chinese, and South Asian. Chinese Street Opera in Singapore documents the ways in which this politically motivated art form contin...
