Why Palestine?: Reflections From Singapore◎Walid Jumblatt Abdullah

If you’ve ever wondered why people keep talking about Palestine, or the point of keeping up with a long-drawn conflict in the Middle East and what difference you could possibly make, this book is for you. Political analyst and podcaster Walid Jumblatt Abdullah takes on questions that Singaporeans have often raised about Palestine, laying out answers that clarify and inform. 

Walid examines myths (“Could Gaza Have Been Singapore?”) and sheds light on the double standards of Western powers, to whom human rights seem to matter, except for where Palestine is concerned. Explaining how the Palestinians have been systematically dehumanised for decades, the book highlights how they continue to exist nevertheless, their very existence an act of resistance. 

Why Palestine? is an illuminating starting point for newcomers to the issue, and a passionate primer that seasoned activists will welcome for capturing the heart and hope of a long-disenfranchised people and those who support them.

The hawker centre is an integral part of Singapore's urban landscape. As they are now easily found all around the island, many may not be aware that the concept of housing hawkers within designated space was not common before Singapore's independence in 1965. Instead, hawkers plied the streets on foot, toting their wares in portable makeshift stalls.

Illustrator Chang Yang captured the street hawkers from the 20s and 30s in a series titled "Our Vanishing Street Hawkers" (消失了的过街小贩), which ran in of the Singapore's Chinese evening dailies, the Lianhe Wanbao, from 1987 - 1988. Accompanying the illustrations were informative passages, describing in details how the hawkers conducted business, where they could be found, the types of customers they attracted and even the hawker's outfits.

This book published by Focus Publishing and the National Heritage Board features the full series of 128 illustrations, with their accompanying text translated into English by Dr. Lai Chee Kien. Dr. Lai also writes in detail on the history of hawker centres in Singapore, and presents a visual and analysis of Chan Yang's illustrations.

　　楊榮文先生從1988年至2011年5月，從政23年，先後擔任新聞及藝術部、衛生部、貿工部及外交部長。焦點出版推出《楊榮文：凝思集》中文版，收錄了他對世界、歷史、政治、經濟、華文華語和哲學等廣泛課題的看法。

　　全書分三輯，第三輯除了梳理新加坡邁向文化藝術都會、醫藥樞紐以及與世界經濟接軌的歷程；與建國總理李光耀共事的點點滴滴，也談他對智慧生命的看法、人生感悟：

　　我偶爾覺得自己仿佛浮木，在歷史長河中，隨着大大小小的歷史浪潮漂流。其實，人人都是生命大河上的浮木，有的較大，有的更靈巧，但多少都能掌控身邊的一些人和事。不過，我們終究無法左右這河的奔流方向。儘管如此，我們至少能選擇在哪個河段漂流，朝着心之所向前行。

　　《新加坡國族建構之路：文化、語言與傳播》是郭振羽教授多年研究與思考的結晶，匯集其在演講、媒體撰述與專題研究中的重點論述，聚焦新加坡在多元社會背景下的國家認同建構、語言政策演變、文化認知與傳播生態等關鍵議題。本書結合社會學、傳播學與文化研究的跨領域視角，兼具理論深度與現實關懷，是近年來探討新加坡文化發展的重要文本。

　　全書分為三輯：第一輯聚焦新加坡國族認同的形成與語言規劃的歷史脈絡；第二輯探討文化與傳播如何在社會變遷中發揮關鍵作用；第三輯則收錄作者回顧多位文化學者的紀念文字與自身生命經驗的反思，展現深沉的人文情懷與思想厚度。

　　書中具體分析新加坡獨立以來在族群整合與認同塑造上的探索，從語言政策的起伏、教育改革、媒體環境到方言與華語地位的變化，從「講華語運動」到新時代華人文化意識的再思考，郭教授以學術功力與宏觀視角串聯起國家、社會與個體之間的複雜互動，勾勒出新加坡獨特的文化建構路徑。

　　本書既有政策層面的批判性思考，也有作為文化參與者的親歷記錄，是一部兼具結構分析與情感溫度的文集。在全球化浪潮與本土文化認同張力並存的時代背景下，這部著作不僅記錄新加坡文化發展的重要階段，也為「我們是誰」「我們如何成為我們」這類根本性命題，提出值得深思的回應。

　　《黑道江湖：中国天地会衍生的新加坡私会党》收录前洪门私会党香主“新加坡私会党发展史”遗稿。

　　新加坡开埠初期的私会党源自清朝的天地会，参与过反清革命与抗日活动。二战后，洪门私会党在森林乡野中开山立堂，成立多个支派，甚至通过工会而卷入政治。

　　到了1980年代，私会党闹事的情况开始减少，可见警方打击私会党的战绩显著。当然整体教育普及、民生改善，就业前景的良好，都为社会带来正能量。

　　署名悟觉者的前洪门私会党香主自叹一失足成千古恨，重获自由不久便离世，留下的遗稿成为珍贵的第一手参考资料，让我们洞悉私会党曾猖獗一时的内幕。

Why did independent Singapore celebrate two hundred years of its founding as a British colony in 2019? What does Merdeka mean for Singaporeans? And what are the possibilities of doing decolonial history in Singapore? Raffles Renounced: Towards a Merdeka History presents essays by historians, literary scholars and artists which grapple with these questions. The volume also reproduces some of the source material used in the play Merdeka / 獨立 / சுதந்திரம் (Wild Rice, 2019). Taken together, the book shows how the contradictions of independent nationhood haunt Singaporeans' collective and personal stories about Merdeka. It points to the need for a Merdeka history: an open and fearless culture of historical reckoning that not only untangles us from colonial narratives, but proposes emancipatory possibilities.

Doing Good Better: Choices and Paradigms in the Social Ecosystem◎Willie Cheng

How can the social ecosystem transform in the new normal? If a charity is in dire need of cash, should it accept a donation that might be tainted? What happens when we place a value on all things in our marketised society? Can the corporate beast be harnessed without reconstituting corporations? Should charities be allowed to run businesses?

Willie Cheng provides his perspectives to these questions and more in his new book, a collection of essays on issues including the social ecosystem in Singapore, market values in society, the role and future of nonprofit organisations, corporate responsibility, “new capitalism”, volunteerism and values.

His analyses and logic are supported by research, case studies and examples gleaned from his many years of experience in both the social and business sectors.

Written in an easy, friendly and readable style, this book provides valuable insights for volunteers, executives and leaders in nonprofits and corporates who want to know how they can succeed in doing good better in the new world order.

With a foreword by Professor Tommy Koh, Professor of Law, National University of Singapore, and Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
