Shashi Jayakumar

re-announced with a new title

A History of the People’s Action Party, 1985–2021 The People’s Action Party (or PAP) of Singapore is among the longest-ruling democratically-elected political parties in the world, in power continuously since Singapore gained self-rule in 1959. Such longevity is the product of an institution that is itself dynamic and responsive. But remarkably, the story of the party as an institution has not received the sustained study it deserves, from historians or political scientists.

This narrative history of the PAP follows the story through decisions made by party leaders as they have sought to respond to the changing demands and expectations of the Singapore electorate, over a 35–year period that saw Singapore enter the ranks of developed nations. The focus is on change in four dimensions, in the communications methods and styles the party adopted, in the mechanisms it developed for managing institutional change, the sometimes vexed question of party renewal, and the evolution of economic and social policy.

Drawing on internal party documents and multiple interviews with key leaders over the last 12 years, this work provides a detailed portrait of a robust political institution and establishes a distinctive new narrative of Singapore politics. It has been updated to include a discussion of the 2020 General Elections and the leadership changes announced in 2021.

Shashi Jayakumar is Head of the Centre of Excellence for National Security at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.

Ashley Thompson editor

Early Theravadin Cambodia: Perspectives from Art and Archaeology One of the outstanding questions of Southeast Asian history is the nature and timing of major cultural and political shifts in the territory that was to become Cambodia, starting in the 13th century. What explains the shift in religious doctrine, different language uses (Pāli over Sanskrit, Khmer as a literary language), the radical transformation in architecture and sculptural production? How was the spread of Theravāda Buddhism related to regional political reconfigurations? What exactly was it we rather blindly label "Theravāda Buddhism"? And how is "Theravāda Buddhism" entangled with the identity shifts that over the next four hundred years gave rise to the Buddhist state now called Cambodia?

Editor Ashley Thompson has brought together the foremost scholars of premodern Cambodian art and archaeology to reflect on the relevant material evidence to probe these questions— and to push them further in exploring larger issues of Buddhist history, regional exchange networks and ethno-political identities across mainland Southeast Asia. The book will be a crucial reference for historians of Southeast Asia, and its insights into religious change will make it important reading for scholars of broader Buddhist Studies. Fully illustrated in colour, the book will appeal to those with a serious interest in the Buddhism and Buddhist art of mainland Southeast Asia.

Ashley Thompson is the Hiram W. Woodward Chair in Southeast Asian Art, SOAS University of London. She is a specialist in Southeast Asian cultural histories, with particular expertise on Cambodia.

Bertha Henson

Not for Circulation: The George E. Bogaars Story Do civil servants really make a difference? Can they shape history?

In 1985 when historian John Drysdale published one of the first books on the political history of independent Singapore, George E. Bogaars wrote to his daughter with typical understatement, “I feature in it a bit.”

Bogaars headed the Special Branch at the time of Operation Cold Store. He reported directly to pioneer leaders such as Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Keng Swee, before they became political icons. He started the Singapore Armed Forces from scratch, when he was Permanent Secretary of Interior and Defence (the precursor of Home Affairs and Defence ministries). He held the country’s purse strings when he moved into the Finance ministry before his retirement in October 1981 at age 55. His impressive resume belies a colourful, flamboyant character with a wicked sense of humour. But civil servant to the core (his father was personal secretary to four Governors of Singapore), Bogaars left no personal papers. He embargoed 30 of the 43 reels of his own interviews at Singapore's Oral History department, a government body he helped to create.

Despite these challenges, journalist and blogger Bertha Henson has proven equal to the task of telling the story of this Singapore original, a man who worked tirelessly for Singapore, from the shadows.

Bertha Henson is a Fellow of Tembusu College, National University of Singapore.

A former Associate Editor of The Straits Times, she blogs at Bertha Harian and is the author of GE2020: Fair or Foul.

David Elliott

Art & Trousers: Tradition and Modernity in Contemporary Asian Art Cultural historian David Elliott is a key figure in the international contemporary art world. In his work as a curator and museum director since his groundbreaking exhibitions in the 1980s at the Oxford Museum of Modern Art, Elliott has contributed to the global conversation on art through biennales and major exhibitions from Stockholm to Shanghai, Kyiv to Sydney, and as the founding director of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and the Istanbul Modern.

A collection of over 30 essays, fully illustrated with over 640 colour images, Art & Trousers moves deftly between regional analysis, portraits of individual artists, and a metaphorical history of trousers, presenting a panoramic view of modern and contemporary Asian art, and focusing on the various impacts of invention, tradition, exchange, colonization, politics, social development, and gender. Elliott spotlights the practice of many leading global artists of the early 21st century, including Hiroshi Sugimoto, Cai Guo-Qiang, Ai Weiwei, Xu Bing, Rashid Rana, Bharti Kher, Makoto Aida, Chatchai Puipia, and Yeesookyung, among many others. Art & Trousers offers insight into the development of a key curatorial practice for our times, and is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand contemporary art and the way it operates across borders.

David Elliott is a specialist on Russian/Soviet avant-garde and contemporary art.

He was the Founding Director of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, and the Istanbul Modern. He is currently Senior Curator at the RMCA in Guangzhou, China.

“A brilliantly original, provocative, and readable account.

Polemically autobiographical and sanely sceptical, this is an essential read for those who want to know what the fuss is about, written with insight and humour by one of the first makers of the fuss.”

– Craig Clunas, FBA, Professor Emeritus of the History of Art, University of Oxford

Yeo Kang Shua

Divine Custody: A History of Singapore’s Oldest Teochew Temple Teochew-speaking gambier and pepper farmers were early settlers of Singapore at the turn of the 19th century. The Wak Hai Cheng Bio temple, now surrounded by the skyscrapers of Singapore’s central business district, traces its history back to before the earliest days of the colony. Its two deities—the Emperor of Heaven and Mazu, the Goddess of the Seas, tutelary deities of the Teochew people and travellers by sea respectively, long accompanied the sojourns of Teochew-speakers in the region. No written sources or inscriptions commemorate the founding of the temple, but the author’s research in the history of land tenure of Singapore and old maps and title deeds provide new evidence for the temple’s foundation.

Just as important is the testimony of the building itself, its siting, materials, its ornamentation and artworks. The author led the UNESCO award-winning effort to restore the temple from 2011 to 2016. The book is exemplary in the way it uses material culture and architectural history as historical sources, and so will be of interest to heritage studies, history and those seeking to understand the experience of Chinese communities in Southeast Asia.

Yeo Kang Shua teaches at the Singapore University of Technology and Design and is an architectural restoration specialist.

“This beautiful book captures the history of the earliest Teochew temple in Singapore as a site of power and a centre of community activities. It is also a masterly account of architectural conservation and restoration.

The author is to be commended for giving us such a wide range of aesthetic pleasure.”

– Wang Gungwu, National University of Singapore

Takashi Shiraishi

The Phantom World of Digul: Policing as Politics in Colonial Indonesia, 1926–1941 Digul was an internment colony for political prisoners established in 1926 in West Papua. It is key to understanding the period between the failed communist rebellion in 1926 and the fall of the Indies to the Japanese in 1942, a time when the Dutch regime attempted to impose “rust en orde”, or peace and order, on the Indonesian people via the suppression of politics by the police.

The political policing regime the Dutch Indies state created was both a success and a failure. The native terrain was never completely pacified. Activists linked up with each other in fluid networks that cut across spatial and ideational boundaries.

How did the government deploy political policing to achieve its policy objectives? What were the consequences and challenges for Indonesian activists? How was the government able to fashion its policing apparatus as the most potent instrument to achieve peace and order when the Great Depression hit the Indies, nationalist and communist forces were gaining strength in other places of the world and war was coming both in Europe and Asia?

This long-awaited sequel to Takashi Shiraishi’s acclaimed An Age in Motion: Popular Radicalism in Java, 1912–1926, attempts to answer these questions.

Takashi Shiraishi has taught at Tokyo University, Cornell University, Kyoto University, and National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS). He currently serves as Chancellor, Prefectural University of Kumamoto.

Justin Thomas McDaniel

Wayward Distractions: Ornament, Emotion, Zombies and the Study of Buddhism in Thailand When more than 93 per cent of the citizens of one country profess a single religion, as Thais do Buddhism, and when that religion is deeply integrated into national institutions and ideologies, it becomes tempting to think of the religion as a textual, institutional, cultural and conceptual whole. But at the same time it is obvious that expressions of Buddhism in Thailand reflect anything but a single order: they are often gaudy, cacophonous, variegated, and jumbled: almost technicolor. Diversity and contradiction are everywhere. A more open engagement with Buddhism in Thailand will require a willingness to be distracted, to step away from received hierarchies and follow the intriguing detail in the ornate design, the odd textual reference, to prefer “thin description” over a search for meaning.

Collected together for the first time, and set in place by a compelling introduction that argues for a strongly materialist approach, these essays cover subjects ranging from ornamental art to marriage and emotion, the role of Hinduism, neglected gender and ethnic diversity, Buddhist inflections in contemporary art practice, and the boundaries between the living, the dead and the undead. These writings will be of importance to students of Theravada and Thailand, of religion in Southeast Asia and more generally, of the materialist turn in studies of religion.

Justin Thomas McDaniel is Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Endowed Professor of the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. His first book, Gathering Leaves and Lifting Words, won the Harry Benda Prize. His second book, The Lovelorn Ghost and the Magical Monk, won the Kahin Prize. x JAPAN

John Michael Elliott with Sim Tick Ngee

The Strange Start of Psychology at the National University of Singapore The psychology programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is today highly popular with students, while the general public in Singapore has begun to appreciate what psychology has to offer as a hub discipline that straddles many fields. Things, however, were not always as such, nor was the development of the programme smooth sailing.

This book traces the journey of NUS Psychology—how it started in 1986 as a programme in the Department of Social Work (subsequently renamed as the Department of Social Work and Psychology) before becoming an independent Department of Psychology in 2005. Set within a historical context of prevailing sentiments and challenges of the times, this account of the journey illustrates how the start of NUS Psychology was in many ways a strange one. Golden nuggets of information and insights, as well as useful lessons that can be learned from this strange start, are provided by an author who walked this entire journey.

John Michael Elliott joined NUS Psychology in 1986 as a Senior Teaching Fellow and retired in 2018 as an Associate Professor. He was awarded the Public Service Medal (PBM – Pingat Bakti Masyarakat) in 2007.

Sim Tick Ngee was part of the pioneer cohort of psychology students in 1986. He joined the Department as a teaching assistant on graduation and remains with the Department to this day. Sim served as Head of Department from 2011 to 2018.

Stephen Cairns & Devisari Tunas editors

Future Cities Laboratory: Indicia 03 A unique research collaboration between Swiss and Singapore research institutions, the Future Cities Laboratory helps to shape sustainable cities and settlement systems through science, by design, in place, over time. This third volume in the Indicia book series presents the results of the Future Cities Laboratory research programme in the form of "actions" for sustainable city-making.

Read together, the three volumes chart the full arc and many productive eddies of the five-year programme and its mission to shape sustainable future cities.

Research results are presented as condensed actions that take the form of general principles, recommendations, practical guidelines, and rules of thumb. The actions are neither technical standards nor prescriptive check-lists but invitations to explore, test and refine research insights within the context in which the reader lives, works and acts. The credibility, salience and legitimacy of each action is underpinned by scientific publications (journal articles, books and exhibitions) presented in extensive footnotes and suggestions for further reading.

The Future Cities Laboratory was established by ETH-Zürich and Singapore’s National Research Foundation (NRF), and operates under the auspices of the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC).

Stephen Cairns is Director of the Future Cities Lab (FCL) Global and the UrbanRural Systems design research group.

Devisari Tunas was the Research Scenario Coordinator for Archipelago Cities at the Future Cities Lab (FCL).

Southeast Asian Site Reports epress.nus.edu.sg/sitereports The Southeast Asian Site Reports series is intended to make archaeological data available for comparative study to all scholars who work on Southeast Asian archaeology, as well as the active community of students of archaeology and volunteers in the region.

Aside from descriptions of the archaeological project, these reports generally include: • research questions addressed by the project, and analysis of results • site maps and stratigraphic drawings • tables providing quantitative data and statistics on specific types of artifacts • illustrations of the main types of artifacts discovered (photographs and drawings) • laboratory analyses of mineral composition, identification of organic materials, the ancient environment, dating methods and results This information is typically difficult to obtain for Southeast Asian sites, especially for the historical period. It is hoped that these efforts to develop an online publication template, and tools for the management of images and other data, will encourage more sharing of data across national boundaries.

Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia Established by a collective of scholars and curators with the aim of looking and listening closely to the discursive spaces of art in, from, and around the region we refer to as Southeast Asia, from an historical perspective. The journal presents a necessarily diverse range of perspectives not only on the contemporary and modern art of Southeast Asia, but indeed of the region itself: its borders, its identity, its efficacy, and its limitations as a geographical marker and a conceptual category. As such, the journal is defined by a commitment to the need for and importance of rigorous discussion, of the contemporary and modern art of the domain that lies south of China, east of India, and north of Australia. The journal publishes twice a year (March and October).

This journal is open access thanks to the support of the Chen Chong Swee Asian Arts Programme at Yale-NUS College and the Foundation for Arts Initiatives, and can be accessed at https:// muse.jhu.edu/journal/716.
