A Spiteful Campaign
The Singapore Botanic Gardens, founded in 1859, was a center for the development of imperial botany where new flora was identified and other plants acclimatized. The ostensibly scientific orientation of the Gardens proved inadequate for the growing number of large capitalistic firms established in Malaya to cultivate cash crops, so the British government established two new bureaucracies—a Department of Forestry and a Department of Agriculture—th…
Imagined Dragons
The presence of a large lizard, the Komodo dragon, in eastern Indonesia first came to the attention of Dutch authorities in 1912. Over the next thirty years these reptiles became one of the most desired celebrity species in the world for explorers to seek, zoos to display, and the public to imagine. From these experiences with captive Komodo lizards, a greater understanding of the behavior and morphology of the animal developed. This literature w…

Commemorating Raffles
While Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles led the expedition that founded colonial Singapore in 1819 and conceptualised many of the early institutions that developed the trade port, it was the depiction and commemoration of his time in the region that made him an icon of imperial mythology. This was part of a process in which admiration of his name and exploits were exalted, ultimately representing a core element in the Victorian mentality, the need to c…

Jennifer L. Gaynor. Intertidal History in Island Southeast Asia
Although Southeast Asia contains the largest archipelago in the world, the history of the peoples who live upon its seas has been the subject of very little historical research, at least compared to the amount of work with the usual focus on empires and states and their dependence on trade and agriculture. Intertidal History in Island Southeast Asia: Submerged Genealogy and the Legacy of Coastal Capture by Jennifer L. Gaynor is an attempt to addr…

‘This Class of Vagabonds and Sharpers’
In 1819 William Gauder, a British resident of Ceylon, was lost in a shipwreck off the Sumatran coast. Over a decade later his father, J. A. Gauder, received reports of his survival, and made several enquiries with British authorities about his son's status as well as the possibility of his repatriation. William Gauder apparently had been living in a Malay community in southern Sumatra. He was not the first, or last, European to live in a Malay st…
‘’We Are Comfortable Riding the Waves’ Landscape and the Formation of a Border State in Eighteenth-Century Island Southeast Asia
In 1820 a British civil servant named Robert Ibbetson traveled to eastern Sumatra. He was not impressed with what he saw. In his report to the British authorities Ibbetson described the region as ‘a number of petty principalities lying along the seashore and bordered inland by various tribes, while poverty misrule and piracy contend for mastery and serve to nullify the natural advantages of the country and its numerous resources.’ 1 Within this c…

Film Melayu
Prior to World War Two many of the Malay-language films released in Singapore and Malaya were made in Java and the Philippines. Beginning in 1940 the Shaw Brothers began producing Malay films in Singapore for distribution to their theatre network throughout Malaya. The first Malay film magazine, Film Melayu , which began publishing in May 1941, documented the production and release of a number of these pre-war films in Singapore, providing one of…

Sedih sampai buta
In the 1950s and 1960s Malaya/Malaysia was undergoing a tremendous amount of social change. One method of examining how this period was understood is through Malay film. A number of Malay writers and activists found work in the vibrant film industry of the Peninsula, which was centred on Singapore at the time, and proceeded to infuse many of the films with their ideas, hopes, and understandings of the society they saw around them. As part of thes…
Multiple Centres of Authority
Offering access to an extensive and resource-rich hinterland, eastern Sumatra was an important trading region between the Melaka Straits and the Minangkabau highlands of Sumatra prior to colonial rule. Traditionally under the control of Johor, the various communities in eastern Sumatra were united under the leadership of an adventurer named Raja Kecik in the early eighteenth century and formed an independent community along the Siak River. Over t…
Rules for Rulers
Police manuals produced in the Siak and Riau-Lingga sultanates during the 1890s reveal something of the concerns of each society in an early stage of colonial state formation, and how they dealt with changing understandings of crime and punishment. Despite their many similarities, the manuals show that each Malay state had a distinctive character, and differed in its approach to issues of modernisation
Texts, Raja Ismail and Violence
In the eighteenth century the descendants of a variety of groups, including Minangkabaus, formed a new Malay state known as Siak. Through an examination of a traditional text, Hikayat Siak, a better understanding of how Malay identity expanded beyond the polity of Johor–Melaka, and was understood, is provided. A key factor in this transformation is how a prince, Raja Ismail, developed a Malay identity through raiding and violence

The Timber Trade in Pre-Modern Siak
Situated in a region of seemingly endless lowland rain-and mangrove forest in eastern Sumatra, the Siak river is the deepest in the Malay archipelago and an important conduit for trade in the region.Before European colonial rule encompassed much of Southeast Asia during the nineteenth century, the Siak river was home to a number of small villages that acted as stapling posts for the collection and transfer of a variety of trade products, ranging …
Local heroes and national consciousness; The politics of historiography in Riau
Proponents and planners who continually use buzzwords such as 'globalization' and transition' frequently overlook the role of history, and particularly modern historical writings, in the creation and perpetuation of the nation states and international relations they discuss. Although the past is often depicted as unchanging, objective and factual, history is written about past events to reinforce current issues that the author wishes to support. …
