Story of Prince Nila Utama, an adventurous boy and son of the Sultan of Palembang, a Malay kingdom in Southeast Asia, and the Merlion. During his childhood, the young prince met a large and beautiful fish with a head of golden hair, at the bay near the palace, and developed a friendship after offering sweet potatoes to the fish. He would feed the fish daily and watch it swim and dance in the water. The fish suddenly disappeared after seven days and Prince Nila forgot about the short relationship over time. Many years later, as an adult, leading a team of men on an expedition across the ocean, Prince Nilas boat was caught in a typhoon and was mysteriously saved by a sea monster which turnout to be the long lost friend of the prince, the Merlion. The story illustrates the magical relationship between the Merlion and Prince Nila with discovery of Singapura, the Malay term for Lion City. This fairy tale is linked to the founding of ancient Singapore, embracing historical friction with folklore. Merlion is the mascot of Singapore.

Download Theorizing the Southeast Asian City as Text Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Theorizing the Southeast Asian City as Text examines the ways in which culture, ethnicity, languages, traditions, governance, policies and histories interplay in the creation of the urban experiences in contemporary Southeast Asian cities. It focuses on the ways in which urban spatial forms are textual experiences, subject to interpretative strategies and the influence of other discourses. In addition it also analyzes the experiences of modernization in such cities, but also in terms of the strategies of containment, refurbishment, and loss which this has occasioned.

Download Chasing Merlion Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Much of what we know of this part of the world began only in the year 1298, when a prince from Palembang set foot on Temasek. But, there are stories that took place even before the veil of history was removed. This is but one of them. The Merlion has traditionally kept the island of Temasek safe from invasions and attacks. But, this time, the danger it faces threatens its own survival. Over wide swath of unexplored terrain and surrealistic ocean, the story follows the dangerous exploits of a group of young boys as they attempt to save the Merlion from capture. United by a common goal, the boys formed an unlikely friendship and alliance at a time when Temasek was divided among its various tribes Wang, from the well-to-do neighbourhood called The Forbidden Hill; Oak, from the fishermen community of The River and Tok, a budding pirate belonging to the fearsome predatory tribe that inhabited the infamous Dragon Tooth Gate. But, the Merlion holds another secret which would change everything the boys know.

Download The Politics of Landscapes in Singapore Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This thought-provoking book explores strategies employed by Singapore, a multiracial society, to create a Singapore "nation" with an emphasis on the role of landscape. As such, the authors cast keen eye on religious buildings, public housing, heritage landscapes, and street name changes as tangible methods of nation-building in a postcolonial society. The authors illustrate how "nation" and "national identity" are concepts that are negotiated and disputed by varied social, economic, and political groups—some of which may actively resist powerfuI state-centrist attitudes. Throughout this work, the role of the landscape prevails both as a way to naturalize state ideologies and as a means of providing possibilities for reinterpretation in everyday life.
