It was financed, run and edited by a group of Jawi Peranakkan (local born Indian Muslims). With the aim to give its readers the latest local and foreign news, it appeared every Monday with news of events, government notices, some advertisements, an editorial and syair (poetry corner). Besides discussing the weakness of the Malay community, it was also the first Malay newspaper to criticise British colonial policy. After some analysis and hypothesis on the role of the newspaper, the writer concludes that it was one of the catalysts and sources of Malay intellectualism. Its influence enabled Singapore in the early years to be the hub of Malay literature in the region. | Akhbar merakam peristiwa semasa: sumber sejarah penting -- Masyarakat Jawi Peranakkan -- Akhbar mingguan Jawi Peranakkan -- Kandungan Jawi Peranakkan -- Ruangan tetap: iklan dan pemberitahuan -- Berita tempatan dan luar negeri -- Edisi khas -- Pengaruh bahasa Arab dan Inggeris -- Lidah pengarang: peniup semangat nasionalisme Melayu -- Wadah untuk persuratan dan kesusasteraan Melayu -- Kesedaran sikap dan sifat Orang Melayu -- Wadah untuk persuratan dan kesusasteraan Melayu -- Kesedaran sikap dan sifat Orang Melayu -- Penutupan akhbar -- Penilaian -- Endnotes -- References -- Web resources -- Jawi Peranakkan. | Malay newspapers--Singapore | Literature {18336116} | may | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia|NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

It was a landmark publication as it was the first Malay newspaper to be wholly owned, financed, written and managed by Malays. The birth of Utusan Melayu was a pivotal moment for political organisation Kesatuan Melayu Singapura (Singapore Malay Union) as it marked the revival and progress of Malays as a bangsa (“nation” or “race”). Utusan Melayu was established not to rival other newspapers but to serve the bangsa, agama (“religion”) and watan (“country” or “birthplace”) of Malays. Yusof bin Ishak, who later became Singapore’s first’s Malayan-born Yang di-Pertuan Negara (“Head of State”) and subsequently president, was one of the newpaper’s prime movers. | [Utusan Melayu] -- Background -- Two newspapers, one name -- Establishment -- Utusan Melayu and Malay nationalism -- References. | Malay newspapers--Singapore | Literature {18336116} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

This paper discusses the challenge in finding information which is scattered, of varying authority and degrees of accessibility. It examines systematically the issues and difficulties existing in the various types of literary resources on the subject, such as scholarly art publications, art books, museum catalogs, thematic books, biographies, biographical dictionaries, art journals and newspapers, as well as web resources. On the topic of scholarly art publishing, it analyses the challenges and limitations in the production of such works, citing costs, limited market and readership. As for art books, the paper raises the problems of investment returns, quality, scarcity of niche publishers, as well as the shortcomings of museum publications and publicity catalogs. It also examines the challenges of dealing with informational resources such as art journals and newspapers. Firstly, a competent reading knowledge of languages other than English is a prerequisite. Secondly, there is the problem of brevity and cursory treatment of the topic in this type of resources. Significantly, there are difficulties in finding a suitable voice and stable readership for such reports. The paper also discusses the drawbacks of web resources, pointing to the lack of guarantee on accuracy and orderliness. Nevertheless, the Internet remains the best tool for locating information on Southeast Asian contemporary artists. The paper concludes with a discussion on the future of Southeast Asian art writing and publishing and a proposal on how these activities could be sustained. Highlighted also in the paper are various useful titles written on contemporary Southeast Asian art and artists. | Who is publishing it? -- Who is reading it? -- The art book -- Books on individual artists -- Thematic books -- Biographical dictionaries -- A 'story' of Southeast Asian contemporary art -- The art journals and newspapers -- Art on the web -- The future of Southeast Asian art writing & publishing.

He is one of the earliest proponents of Pablo Picasso in this region. He is also well known for his poetry which is very much associated with the environment.

It was blown up in 1843 to widen the mouth of the Singapore River. It features a yet-to-be-deciphered ancient script that points to a possible extension of the Majapahit civilisation on the island of Singapore. The Singapore Stone is currently displayed at the National Museum of Singapore. | [Singapore Stone] -- Description -- History -- References. | Relics--Singapore | 1819-1826 Founding and early years {18455341}|1826-1867 Straits settlements {18455342}|Architecture {18336173} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126}|NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

This article explores the resonance of cultural nostalgia which brought about the longing for rural village life that characterised Nanyang-style art during the 1960 and 1970s. These iconic works of the Nanyang art movement based on the humble way of life of fisherfolk were signifiers of a romantic, idealised model of self-sufficiency — a poultice for the physical and psychic upheaval of industrialisation, and for the uncertainty felt in those years. | “Nanyang” : nostalgia and longing -- “Nanyang” : phenomenology -- “Nanyang” : mythologies. | Art, Singaporean--Singapore | Arts {18336109} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia|NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

Today, there are about 800,000 Malay phrases in various disciplines. Since AD 3, the Malay language has undergone six stages of evolution: ancient form, archaic form, classic form, modern form, Indonesian form and the Internet form. These changes in forms derived from various influences that spread across Southeast Asia through colonisation and developments of new sociopolitical trends that come in tandem with globalisation. Such waves brought with them changes to the Malay scripts as well. This article examines the various sources which provide information on the evolution of the Malay language and scripts. | Introduction -- Unlocking the secrets -- Evolution of the Malay language and scripts -- Unveiling the inscriptions -- Unveiling the manuscripts -- Unveiling pioneers of modern manuscripts -- Unveiling gatekeepers of the scripts -- Conclusion -- Endnotes -- References. | Malay language--Southeast Asia|Script type--Southeast Asia | Literature {18336116} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172}|NLB Collections>>Index to Singapore Information {16145204} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.
