I tresserne mellem 1965 og 1969 byggede arkitekt Claus Heding en skonnert i midten af Bangkok. Han var ved lidt af en tilfældighed kommet til Thailand, men han indså hurtigt, at det var et fantastisk sted at bygge en båd. I 1968 slog hans lillebror Anders sig til ham. På det tidspunkt var båden lige blevet søsat, og Anders forventede hurtigt at komme til at sejle med fra Thailand tilbage til Danmark. Men sådan kom det ikke til at gå. Det tog et helt år, før båden var færdig, men så blev det også en spændende tur. Fra Thailand til Singapore og Bali og over Det Indiske ocean, hvor de strandede. Båden blev reddet, og de kunne fortsætte via Sydafrika, Sydamerika og Vestindien over Nordatlanten hjem til Danmark i 1971.Uddrag af bogenVi for op og forsøgte at få mere sejl sat op for at kunne få vendt båden. Men forgæves! Brændingen var begyndt at tage os, og pludselig råbte Claus, at vi skulle holde fast, og så styrede han båden direkte mod brændingen. Det viste sig at have været en klog beslutning, ellers var vi nok ikke kommet helskindede fra denne oplevelse. Det var bælgmørkt, men vi kunne mærke, hvordan båden blev fanget af den store brænding og løftet tre-fire meter for så at styrte ned på revet med sine tyve tons. Så en gang til op og ned med endnu et brag. Så væltede vi om på siden med dækket bort fra brændingen.Om forfatterenTyve år gammel drog forfatteren til Bangkok for at deltage i byggeriet af en skonnert, som han efter et år var med til at sejle hjem til Danmark. Siden da uddannede han sig som bådebygger og blev som sådan sendt til Tonga for FAO og siden Tanzania. Han endte med at tage en MA i filosofi og samfundsteori i England.

Ever wonder what it's like to live in Qatar? Well M hadn't. He couldn't have even found it on a map... then found himself there. When M arrived in Qatar from London on his newly-minted expat assignment, he didn't expect to be confronted with life's most existential choices...so immediately. And he dragged his girlfriend-cum-wife too. "But I wanted to go to Singapore," she said. "We got at least half-way there!" From job offer, to eloping in Las Vegas (because living together out of wedlock is haram), to having a kid - and back again, "TIQ" is a humorous, if not slightly exaggerated, acerbic account of an amateur expat's trials and tribulations waaaay out of his depth in a country, frankly, he had never heard of. If you're about to move to Qatar, or if you ever thought you wanted to visit (you KNOW you want to), TIQ will help you frame (and perhaps even answer) some non-trivial questions such as: - What would you choose with your marginal dollar - beer, or bacon? - Is it OK to eat your lunch on the toilet? - Who's that scary voice on the radio every morning? and - Are traffic signs really just...guidelines? If you weren't planning on moving to Qatar, or even visiting - the shock, laughs and jaw-droppingly ridiculous happenstances might just even move the needle (albeit slightly). Way back when M got his Hebrew tattoo, his mom, like any good Jewish-American, said, "Well, now you'll never be able to go to the Middle East." M just scoffed and said, "Middle East? Me? Never." Who's laughing now? (And by the way: the answer is definitely never bacon.)

This edited volume examines the historical development of Chinese-medium schools from the British colonial era to recent decades of divergent development after the 1965 separation of Singapore and Malaysia. Educational institutions have been a crucial state apparatus in shaping the cultural identity and ideology of ethnic Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia. This volume applies various perspectives from education theory to heritage studies in dealing with the cultural legacy and memory of such schools as situated in larger contexts of society.The book offers comprehensive practice-based analysis and reflection about the complex relationships between language acquisition, identity construction, and state formation from socio-political-cultural perspectives. It covers a broad range of aspects from identities of culture, gender, and religion, to the roles played by the state and the community in various aspects of education such as textbooks, cultural activities, and adult education, as well as the representation of culture in Chinese schools through cultural memory and literature.The readership includes academics, students and members of the public interested in the history and society of the Chinese diaspora, especially in South East Asia. This also appeals to scholars interested in a bilingual or multilingual outlook in education as well as diasporic studies.

"The fascinating account of two former British colonies with a shared past but vastly different identities today! Singapore and Malaysia sit astride the sea lanes linking East with West--vital choke points in the world's commerce. Since ancient times, ports along the Silk Road of the Sea were populated by peoples from around the globe who came here to trade and live, carried by the steady flow of goods and the ever-present monsoon winds. Author Christopher Hale recounts many fascinating histories of this region, including: The ancient international trade in spices and the seven voyages to the southern seas of the Chinese eunuch Admiral Zheng He in the 15th century The rise of Islamic kingdoms along rivers bordering the Straits of Malacca and the conquest of Malacca, one of the world's largest cities, by a few hundred Portuguese marauders in 1511 The saga of Sir Stamford Raffles, credited with founding Singapore, and the development of tin mines and vast rubber and oil palm plantations on the Malay Peninsula The disastrous fall of "Fortress Singapore" to the Japanese in World War II after only three weeks of fighting, the worst British military defeat in history The wildly successful film Crazy Rich Asians, set in Singapore, the highest grossing romantic comedy of the decade A Brief History of Singapore and Malaysia tells these and many other compelling stories about the people and events which have shaped these nations as they developed into modern powerhouses of international trade and tourism"--

A collection of short stories that touch on the surreal and unhinged. We live in a fragmented world that has caused alienation of our lives in many spheres and at multiple levels. The fifteen stories in this collection delve into the cracks and crevices of such lives in the social, political, economic, technological, cultural, artistic, sexual, psychological and religious spheres The book depicts levels of madness which ring in the lives of the characters caused by estrangement, isolation, desolation and loss of meaning in our contemporary world. The disheartening fact is that such alienated experiences are perceived to be normal and acceptable to many. There is still hope if we open doors of introspection and mindfulness to begin healing of our hearts and minds. These stories were originally published in Malay and have been translated into English.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 2,6, University of Applied Sciences Koblenz (Wirtschaft), language: English, abstract: This paper tries to determine the main differences between Germany and Singapore and to answer the question what Germany can learn from Singaporean business culture.Since the world is becoming more and more multicultural, international and connected, cultures and their components change over time. Modern companies of today, who are looking to do business in Europe and Asia are most successful when building up regional headquarters rather than focus on a specific market with country-specific headquarters.In the past, Singapore became the predominant location for regional headquarters in Asia (especially South-East Asia) for various reasons. The former British colony provides all necessary aspects to attract foreign direct investments in conjunction with an English speaking environment. As of today Singapore became one of best and easiest countries to do business with in conjunction with a stable political environment. The counterpart in Europe for Singapore is the export-oriented Germany. After its reunification in 1990, Germany became the strongest economic power in Europe and one of the strongest worldwide. With the focus on export to all continents, it is necessary to build up headquarters around the world to maximize the effectiveness. Today, about 1400 German firms are located in Singapore, which makes them an important partner.Since multinational companies become bigger and more involved in different sectors, success in business will inevitably demand a change of corporate and business culture. Therefore it is important to understand foreign cultures and business cultures to better adapt to the foreign culture. Additionally improvements of other business cultures can be used and implemented into the own business culture.
