　　四面牆壁，兩個門，幾扇窗，框出一個屬於老師和學生的私密空間。在這個小天地，除了知識的傳遞，更是師生結緣的地方。 三十個小故事，道出一個在前線執教鞭二十二年的母語老師的喜怒哀樂。有感慨，有體悟，有成長，更有持續奮鬥的力量。每一個在課室裡，或課室外邂逅的學生；每一個觸動作者心靈的學生；都是豐富這本散文集的功臣。 世界上最美麗的非血緣關係，是師生關係。能夠在學生身上種下知識和道德的種子，是一個老師最大的幸福。眾孜孜不倦的母語老師和在課室裡學習華文的學生們，希望跟你們分享這屬於老師和學生之間的故事。它淡淡的，卻滿載真情。

　　傾聽有態度的聲音，細讀有溫度的觀點——本書是新加坡著名繪本與專欄作者阿果（李高豐）的第一本圖文書，精選自其在《聯合早報》圖文專欄《三讀空間》的部分作品，為該圖文書系列的第一本，也是新加坡第一本以繪本形式呈現散文作品的書籍。

　　本書的每一篇文章，都配以作者的一幅插畫，屬於原創作品。 

　　何謂「三讀」？阿果說，我們需要在相乘與減除的態度之間，尋索生存的平衡及文明的真諦。繪本的簡約、單純與清新，能喚醒我們逐漸蟄伏的最初靈魂。為專欄取名「三讀空間」，只因每個人一生都該三讀繪本，一讀孩提時，二讀為人父母時，三讀鬢角泛白望盡千帆時。讓我們提起勇氣，純粹為自己而翻閱繪本，安於讓生命變得更渺小、更簡單、更少暴力。

'OTHERS' IS NOT A RACE (3RD PRINTING)
by Melissa De Silva
published by Math Paper Press
*  
What is a Eurasian? Are Eurasians Singaporean? What does it mean to be a Eurasian living in Singapore?

While having existed in Singapore as long as any other community, Eurasians, who comprise less than one percent of the population, still remain a fairly obscure group to many Singaporeans.

'OTHERS' IS NOT A RACE is a tapestry that weaves together the multiple genres of narrative fiction, creative nonfiction, literary food writing and family memoir, to offer insight into the micro-minority Eurasian community through the intensely personal lens of the writer's own experience living and growing up as a Eurasian in Singapore. Throughout are interwoven the themes of memory, loss, language, identity and cultural reclamation.

Similarly, it is a reflective and provocative journey of self-discovery; a journey the reader may also take to explore what it means to exist at the confluence of being Singaporean and being Eurasian, and to interrogate the liminal space between two cultures, Asian and European, occupied by this community

This booklet brings together the original English works from Streets & Places of Singapore Volumes 1 and 2. The two anthologies were envisioned as a way of mapping Singapore through literature—capturing how streets and places carry history, memory, and imagination. Published in Chinese, they highlight the city as seen through the lens of Chinese literary expression, while also embracing works that were first written in English and lovingly translated into Chinese.

About the Book

Malaysia is no easy country to analyse, or even to understand. With so many narratives about the country, its peoples, and its histories, the noise generated — both online and off — can be as deafening as that of any rave party.

Since 2019, Malaysians have lived through a unique period in the country’s history. Amid the Covid pandemic and its many challenges, Malaysia experienced three prime minister changes, and countless other political dramas and plot twists.

Signals in the Noise is not just a book on politics, though. Moving with ease between different sociopolitical and socioeconomic discourses, this collection of Ooi Kee Beng’s columns and commentaries — published between 2019 and 2023 — showcases more than ever his talent as a historian and philosopher, alongside his prowess as a political scientist. This wide-ranging collection is a must-read beginner's guide to Malaysian politics. It also highlights Ooi’s love for his hometown of Penang, his concern for the environment, and how the arts define a society and its perceptions of the world.
