Negotiating time in British Malaya : colonial Singapore’s role in time legislature, 1895 – 1933 by Teo, Grace Jie Ying

“…This paper argues that the various time changes in Singapore and British Malaya between 1895 to 1933 were products borne of influence from international agreements, yet more strongly bear the marks of local negotiation. Being arbitrary in nature, time offsets in the form of mean times, standard times, and daylight saving times were socially determined, negotiated, and sustained, by the circulation of ideas, objects, and actors. …”

Autism narratives in Singapore by Ho, Melissa Yun Ling

“…Examining Singaporean autism narratives allows us insight into the ways in which dominant global discourses about autism are negotiated in local contexts; narratives are shaped by their socio-cultural contexts and examining those from Singapore, a globalised and multicultural, yet socially conservative city-state, enables us to understand the ways in which such multiple discourses come to bear upon individual narratives. Given that these narratives have, in turn, the potential to shape cultural discourses, and having shown through close literary analysis some effects of existing stereotypes and discourses, I argue for the urgency and importance of attending to narrative ethics in the production of autism narratives in Singapore.…”
