Lion City Narratives: Singapore Through Western Eyes fulfils four aims. First, it is a study of subjective Western impressions of Singapore's 145 years (1819-1963) of colonial history. The study is not meant to be an in-depth historical analysis of Singapore, but rather to give the reader an impressionistic account of how Western residents viewed Singapore over the decades. Second, this study could be seen as a short biography of Singapore's evolution as a city. The chapters on the imageability of Singapore and its urban morphology provide a holistic perspective of Singapore's urban dynamics. Third, this book provides a cultural insight into Singapore's population, both White residents and transient visitors, as well as the locals or Asians. Fourth, it opens a window into Singapore's development at a time when the West was at its cultural zenith and when Great Britain was the principal superpower of the 19th century. Hence Singapore carried twin colonial legacies — it was the archetype trading emporium between East and West, and it became, for the British, the major point d'appui for defence. Finally, the Singapore colonial narrative is set in a broader academic discourse that allows the reader to see a wider picture of Singapore's colonial development.The book does not attempt to make a definitive statement about the Western involvement in Singapore; it deals more with an association of many subjective Western perspectives that add colour to the liveability of the tropics, perceptions of the exotic Orient, and the myriad views of ethnic groups. Without the Western writings, paintings, and maps, academia would have minimal records of Singapore's development. As a new colony in the early 19th century however, Singapore's growth has been extremely well documented.This book will appeal to Singaporeans interested in understanding Singapore's colonial past, Westerners interested in the Western cultural persona in the development of Singapore, researchers dealing with the urban development of less-developed countries and colonial development in the tropical world, and lastly, academics who are interested in Singapore and the region's political and economic development as a case study.

Now that this study is completed and I wish to make due acknowledg ment to all those who have in any degree contributed towards its realization, my thoughts turn in the first place to the one to whom this book is dedicated. It is a great grief to me that he who took such an intense interest in my work has not lived to see its conclusion. It was he who in the beginning urged me to venture upon this course of study and whose encouragement helped me in moments of de spondency. The high standard which, with his keen and critical judgment, he set for his own work, was an example to me, and I shall strive to maintain it in my future studies. Not only did he help me to lay the foundation of my knowledge of archive science, but he was also my guide in a field new to me in many respects, that of Asian maritime trade. His wide knowledge of medieval European trade in the Baltic area led me to compare and contrast the two worlds of East and West and thus helped me to obtain a deeper insight into the differences and similarities between the various problems involved. I am greatly indebted to Prof. Dr. J. M. Romein, who has followed the progress of my studies with great interest all these years, and on whose help and support, sometimes in very difficult circumstances, I have always been able to rely.

Pada tahun 1445 Masehi, atas permintaan Bhre Kêrtabumi, Syekh Ibrahim Al-Akbar berlayar dari Champa menuju Jawa, diiringi Sayyid Ali Murtadlo dan tiga belas santrinya. Mengingat pertumbuhan kaum muslim yang pesat di pesisir Jawa, syekh keturunan Samarqand itu didaulat untuk menjadi petinggi agama Islam di Keraton Majapahit. Tetapi jung Syekh Ibrahim diamuk badai hingga terdampar di pantai Kamboja. Mereka ditangkap prajurit-prajurit Kamboja dan dipenjara oleh rajanya. Kabar perihal nasib rombongan Champa itu akhirnya sampai di Jawa. Dipimpin Raden Arya Bangah, tujuh jung tempur Majapahit, lengkap dengan meriam Jawa dan manjanik, segera meluncur ke Kamboja untuk membebaskan mereka. Pertempuran sengit pun meletus di Prey Nokor. Dalam pada itu, Sabda Palon dan Naya Genggong, dua punakawan Bhre Kêrtabumi, melihat dengan mata batinnya bahwa trah Majapahit akan lumpuh. Selama lima ratus tahun awan hitam akan menaungi Nusantara seiring datangnya para pengusung keyakinan baru yang bakal mengakhiri kekuasaan Majapahit. Demi menjaga keutuhan Nusantara, Sabda Palon menasihati Kêrtabumi agar mengambil selir dari Kepulauan Wandhan. Keturunan darinyalah yang akan membangkitkan kejayaan trah Majapahit dua ratus tahun kemudian. Raja muda itu pun mengawini Bondrit Cêmara, seorang emban dari Wandhan. Dewi Amaravati, putri Champa permaisuri Kêrtabumi, dilanda cemburu tak tertanggungkan hingga ia berencana membunuh Bondrit Cêmara berikut janin yang tengah dikandungnya. Melalui narasi-narasi memukau nyaris pada setiap babak, novel ini tak hanya mampu menyatukan keping-keping sejarah masa akhir kejayaan Majapahit yang tercecer dan terpendam, tetapi juga bakal menyihir Anda untuk memasuki Nusantara masa silam. Tidaklah mudah membawa pembaca abad 21 kembali ke abad 15, yang berjejal aroma dupa, kemegahan pura, dan gadis-gadis yang masih bertelanjang dada. Tetapi Damar Shashangka mampu melakukan itu dengan mempesona.

The definitive guide to place names in Singapore. Place names tell us much about a country – its history, its landscape, its people, its aspirations, its self-image. The study of place names, ‘toponymics’, unlocks the myriad interlocking stories that are encoded in every street and landmark. In Singapore, the coexistence of various races, cultures and languages, as well as its history of colonisation, immigration and nationalism, have given rise to a complex tapestry of place names. Alkaff Quay, Coleman Bridge, Ann Siang Hill, Bukit Merah – how did these places get their names? Nee Soon or Yishun? Serangoon Road or Tekka? First published in 2003 as Toponymics, this updated and expanded edition of the book incorporates a wealth of new findings, from archival research and interviews, and sets out to answer these questions – and any question that might be asked about the origin, meaning or significance of place names in Singapore

Suatu saat pada 1630, armada pelayaran pencarian kayu gaharu dari Tiongkok mendarat di Pulau Belitong. Turun dari kapal tersebut adalah Yin Galema, seorang putri selir Kaisar Ch'ing yang melarikan diri bersama ayah kandungnya. Dia masih sembilan tahun saat itu, tetapi kecantikannya sudah mulai mencuri perhatian. Armada tersebut disambut baik dan diizinkan menetap oleh penguasa di sana, Raja Balok Cakraningrat I. Di tanah air barunya ini, Yin dibimbing oleh Ki Ronggo Udo, dan perlahan dia pun tumbuh sebagai sosok wanita Melayu sejati, meski watak putri Tiongkok yang keras kepala tetap melekat. Beranjak dewasa, Yin pun jatuh cinta pada seorang pemuda asuhan Ki Ronggo Udo, yaitu Kanda Badau. Hubungan cinta mereka terlarang dan rahasia, karena Kanda Badau adalah putra selir Raja Balok yang disembunyikan keberadaannya. Apa daya, paras dan kepribadian Yin menarik hati kumbang lainnya, yaitu sang putra mahkota sendiri, Pangeran Mending. Keberanian dan ketabahan Yin Galema sungguh diuji ketika putri bungsu Raja menuduh Yin berencana merebut takhta raja dengan memperdaya Pangeran. Akankah Yin Galema yang benci dengan aroma kekuasaan kembali mengulangi takdir nahas ibunya, seorang selir Kaisar yang tewas karena cinta? Intrik kerajaan, perang melawan VOC, pembunuhan, peti harta karun, dan cinta segitiga pun mewarnai kisah menawan tentang seorang putri di negeri asing. "Saya memuji karya Ian Sancin. Dengan pandai, ia menyajikan latar masa lampau bagi pembaca masa kini. Ia membantu kita untuk mengingat bahwa kita terbangun dari kebinekaan." Remy Sylado Sastrawan. [Mizan, Hikmah, Novel, Indonesia]
