Language, Resistance and Ambivalence in Chinese Malaysian Political Satire
The political satire of Teresa Kok’s Lunar New Year YouTube videos demonstrates creative resistance in their polylingual humorous critique of Malaysian politics. While drawing on traditions of Chinese political satire, the satirical skits employ the unique polylingual voices of Chinese Malaysians in critical performances that seek to evade censors and entertain a diverse audience. In addition to more direct political satire, the mixed languages i…
Conversational Code Switching: Languaging Chinese Identities in Multilingual Malaysia
The mixing of three or more languages in casual conversations, a hallmark of Chinese Malaysian informal speech, expresses a range of sociological and ideological meanings in the ongoing construction of Chinese Malaysian heteroglossic identities. While code-switching patterns sometimes mark different speaker positions, they also express broader language identities and ideologies that transcend individual conversations. This is especially clear whe…

Constructing transnational identities? Mass media and the Malaysian Chinese audience
This article examines the influence of Chinese transnational mass media, in particular television, videos, and films, on the creation of transnational Chinese identities among Malaysian Chinese. Drawing on ethnographic research and surveys of adults and high school students in four Malaysian cities, it argues that local audiences distinguish clearly between the various forms of transnational Chinese media produced in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China.…
Comet in Our Sky: Lim Chin Siong in History
Lim was a founder-member of the People's Action Party (PAP), a fact rarely, if ever, acknowledged in the city-state, and was a rising political star in the 1950s and 1960s. He was, from all accounts, a fiery and dynamic orator and was also blessed with good organizational skills. When he took over as Secretary-General of the Singapore Factory and Shop Workers' Union (SFSWU), the union's membership swelled from 375 in April 1954 to nearly 30,000 b…

From Myth to History: Yap Ah Loy and the Heroic Past of Chinese Malaysians
The exploration of differing historical interpretations has become an area of growing interest to anthropologists and historians alike, who have come to recognize that diverse interpretations of the same events can create as powerful a force for future actions as the events themselves. Following this approach, history becomes not so much a narrative progression of events, as shifts in meaning structures over time. The impact of such a perspective…
