  • A pioneering study on measuring poverty in the hydrocarbon-rich state of Brunei Darussalam

    Open Access•Evi Nurvidya Arifin, Aris Ananta et al.•ARTICLE•Asian Population Studies•2023•References: 2

    Poverty exists not only in low and middle-income countries but also in high-income countries. Brunei, a rich country heavily reliant on hydrocarbon in Southeast Asia, is not an exception. Though poverty is not a topic that is politically taboo in Brunei, there are no statistics on poverty in Brunei. Yet, having such statistics would aid the government to achieve the target of zero poverty in 2035. Therefore, this technical paper provides a pionee…

    With an increasingly assertive China and the intensifying influence of the Sinocentre, Chinese overseas who have access to Chineseness can exercise their agentic power in using their cultural capital for economic gains.

    After Independence in 1984, the Sultanate of Brunei declared Melayu Islam Beraja ( MIB ) as the official state ideology. Translated as “Malay Islamic Monarchy,” this ideology is primarily interpreted through the Islamic lens and encompasses all sectors of the society. Facing the COVID -19 crisis, the government took quick and Shari’a-driven measures to contain the further import and propagation of the virus. How did faith intertwine with healthca…

By narrating the shifting identity and bounda…

    C Y Hoon, Shawatriqah Sahrifulhafiz•ARTICLE•Journal of Chinese Overseas•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 4

    This paper explores the ways in which Bruneians who are born into a Chinese-Malay family define their identity, how the state classifies them in terms of “race,” how they negotiate their bicultural practices, and what challenges they face while growing up in the liminal space of inbetweenness. Considering the hegemonic force of assimilation enforced by various state apparatuses, the article critically discusses the ways in which Chinese-Malays ne…

    The fall of Suharto in 1998 opened up a new space for the public articulation of Chinese identity in Indonesia.

  • Assimilation, multiculturalism, hybridity: The dilemmas of the ethnic chinese in post-suharto Indonesia 1

    C Y Hoon, Chang-Yau Hoon•ARTICLE•Asian Ethnicity•2006•Cited by: 25•References: 13

    The dominant discourse in accommodating the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia during Suharto's regime was one of assimilation, which forcefully aimed to absorb this minority into the national body. However, continuous official discrimination towards the Chinese placed them in a paradoxical position that made them an easy target of racial and class hostility. The May 1998 anti-Chinese riots proved the failure of the assmilationist policy. The process of…
