Malaysia is one of the most intriguing countries in Asia in many respects. It consists of several distinct areas, not only geographically but ethnically as well; along with Malays and related groups, the country has a very large Indian and Chinese population. The spoken languages obviously vary at home, although Bahasa Malaysia is the official language and nearly everyone speaks English. There is also a mixture of religions, with Islam predominating among the Malays and others, Hinduism and Sikhism among the Indians, mainly Daoism and Confucianism among the Chinese, but also some Christians as well as older indigenous beliefs in certain places. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Malaysia contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Malaysia.

The story of Penang would be incomplete without the Big Five Hokkien families (the Khoo, the Cheah, the Yeoh, the Lim, and the Tan). It was the Big Five who played a preponderant role not only in transforming Penang into a regional entrepot and a business and financial base, but also in reconfiguring maritime trading patterns and the business orientation of the region in the nineteenth century. Departing from the colonial vantage point, this book examines a web of transnational, hybrid and fluid networks of the Big Five comprising of family relationship, sworn brotherhood, political alliance and business partnerships, which linked Penang and its surrounding states (western Malay states, southwestern Siam, southern Burma, and the north and eastern coasts of Sumatra) together to form one economically unified geographical region, having inextricable links to China and India. With these intertwining networks, the Big Five succeeded in establishing their dominance in all the major enterprises (trade, shipping, cash crop planting, tin mining, opium revenue farms), which constituted the linchpin of Penang's and its region's economy. By disentangling and dissecting this intricate web of networks, this book reveals the rise and decline of the Hokkien mercantile families' nearly century-long economic ascendancy in Penang and its region."e;Wong Yee Tuan's study of the five clans of Penang represents a major breakthrough in the study of the Malayan Chinese. He documents an extremely important aspect of the nineteenth-century Asian diaspora, exposing the intricate links between families, businesses, secret societies, revenue farms and public life of some of the key groups of Chinese in Penang and northern Malaya. The book weaves together the various strands of overseas Chinese life not only in Malaya, but also in the Netherlands Indies, Siam and China. Most importantly, it shows the process by which the Chinese leaders gained political, economic and social power as well as the way by which these powers were lost."e;- Carl A. Trocki, Emeritus Professor, Asian Studies, Queensland University of Technology, Australia"e;This volume can be situated within a growing historiographical current whereby regional studies of connections, networks and interactions are gradually transcending national histories. Incorporating commercial, ethnic and social elements, the history presented can be concurrently seen as a business case study, a sociological exploration, a political economy treatise and an inquiry into Hokkien networking. Wong Yee Tuan is to be congratulated on this signal study in how local, national and broader regional histories can be integrated."e;- Geoffrey Wade, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University"e;By aligning family, socio-political and business interests, the leading Penang Hokkien clans centralized their 'home port' as a hub of regional commercial networks, thus successfully extending the trading colonies of Chinese diaspora westward to the edge of the Indian Ocean. Wong has fastidiously researched and compellingly proven this, with a clear eye for relevant cross-cultural collaborations with indigenous and international actors. The important legacy of the 'Big Five' clanhouses is now firmly embedded in the George Town World Heritage Site, inciting further inquiry into the cultural formation of collective entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia."e;- Khoo Salma Nasution, Heritage Advocate and Local Historian, Penang

This is the story of British enterprise in Singapore and Malaya from 1786 to 1920, when British vision, zeal and drive developed Penang, then Singapore and, finally, the peninsular Malay States. In the initial years, commerce and finance were paramount. The seeds of these commercial activities had been planted initially in the days of the East India Company but later, and more importantly, by individual merchant firms, supported by credit from London. These merchants were the driving force of British investment and development on the Malay Peninsula. While the contributions of the Malays, Indians and, especially, the Chinese to economic development should not be under-rated, in the period under review, their activities were steered and monitored by the British. This book presents an original and coherent account of British Enterprise in Singapore and Malaya in an important historical period and includes substantial new material from primary records of merchant firms and banks which will be of great interest to students, professionals as well as the general public.

Buku ini menampilkan kepada pembaca sebuah naskhah perundangan adat negeri Kedah yang diberi judul Undang-Undang Adat Negeri Kedah yang terhasil pada tahun 1893 dan masih belum diterbitkan. Isi kandungannya memerikan pelbagai maklumat penting tentang amalan undang-undang adat kesultanan Kedah pada abad ke-19, dan dalam masa yang sama mengetengahkan nilai sosiobudaya, ekonomi dan aturan kehidupan seharian masyarakat. Naskhah undang-undang tersebut juga kaya dengan nasihat adab pemerintahan mengikut ajaran Islam, kedudukan wanita, keanekaragaman bahasa dan sebagainya. Berdasarkan hukum-hakam yang tercatat dalam naskhah tersebut, dapat dibuat suatu gambaran tentang permasalahan sosial yang berlaku di Kedah sekitar abad ke-19 hingga pelbagai bentuk undang-undang telah diwujudkan bagi membendung dan mengatasi permasalahan sosial tersebut. Keunikan naskhah Undang-Undang Adat Negeri Kedah semakin terserlah melalui identiti pemiliknya, Ku Din Ku Meh yang pernah berkhidmat sebagai Penguasa Penjara di Alor Setar, Kedah pada zaman pemerintahan Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Syah (1881–1943), dan seterusnya menjadi Gabenor di Setul (Satun). Hal ini memperlihatkan bahawa naskhah perundangan adat masih memainkan peranan dalam sistem perundangan di negeri Kedah pada abad ke-19 bagi memelihara keharmonian dan keutuhan kerajaan dan negara. Naskhah Undang-Undang Adat Negeri Kedah merupakan suatu pencapaian penting bagi sejarah dan ketamadunan hidup serta ketinggian hasil persuratan di negeri Kedah yang perlu diketengahkan kepada masyarakat hari ini.

Buku ini meninjau perkembangan dalam aspek sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat Melayu Pulau Pinang sejak awal kurun ke-19 sehingga meletusnya Perang Dunia Kedua dan beberapa dekad selepasnya. Kedudukan Pulau Pinang sebagai pelabuhan perdagangan sejak diambil alih oleh Syarikat Hindia Timur Inggeris (SHTI) daripada kesultanan Kedah pada 1786 menukar dengan cepat corak kehidupan orang Melayu di negeri ini. Mereka bukan sahaja bersaing mencari kemajuan dalam aspek ekonomi, malah terdedah kepada pembaharuan yang dibawa dari luar mahupun dari negeri-negeri Melayu sendiri. Sifat persaingan dalam sebuah kehidupan kosmopolitan ini turut membawa kemajuan dalam pendidikan, kesusasteraan dan percetakan. Di Pulau Pinang inilah lahirnya pemikir yang memanjangkan pemodenan yang turut menggunakan percetakan sebagai wadah menyampaikan transformasi kepada masyarakat Melayu. Peranan Pulau Pinang sebagai pusat perkumpulan dan perlepasan jemaah haji sejak pertengahan kurun ke-19 menjadikan dunia percetakan, khususnya buku-buku keagamaan begitu rancak di negeri itu. Seberang Perai turut menerima tempias daripada perkembangan ini. Hubungan antara kedua-duanya terjalin erat atas keperluan ekonomi, kemasyarakatan dan keagamaan meskipun ciri-ciri kehidupan masyarakat Melayu di Seberang Perai masih kuat dipengaruhi sifat kekedahan yang pernah menjadi pertuanan mereka sebelum diambil alih oleh SHTI pada 1800.

The contributors analyse Singapore as a city-state seeking to provide an interdisciplinary perspective to the study of the global dimensions contributing to Singapore's growth. The book's global perspective demonstrates that many of the discussions of Singapore as a city-state have relevance and implications beyond Singapore to include Southeast Asia and the world.

The last century of China's Ming dynasty (1368-1644) saw many troubles and challenges from abroad. Pirates raided the coast, Europeans challenged the traditional world order of the tribute system, and the everlasting threat from the northern steppe people continued to raise concerns for the state. This climate of uncertainty resulted in many Ming literati discussing foreign countries. During the last decades of the Ming, seven authors wrote monographs that can be considered a form of early Chinese "world history." The authors describe the geography, the history, and the political systems of foreign countries and regions ranging from China's close neighbors Japan and Mongolia to more distant lands such as Mogadishu and Europe. This books by Elke Papelitzky studies each of the seven author's knowledge and perception of the world and focuses especially on the countries connected with China at the maritime border: Siam, Malacca, and Portugal, combining a close textual and paratextual analysis with a biographical study to understand why the authors wrote the texts the way they did. This is the first comprehensive introduction to these texts contributing to an understanding of late Ming historiography as well as the perception of foreign countries by late Ming scholars.
