Translating oral histories: a podcast by Wong, Melissa Xin Yu

“…This is done with a number of approaches: retaining the shorter clauses and sentences of the Chinese source text; translating oral features and other pieces of non-verbal communication; keeping and inserting discourse participles from both Chinese and Singlish to modulate the tone and build consensus; and editorial insertions. In particular, the last approach of editorial insertions renders the translator visible, a deliberate decision made to both respect the original speaker and to remind readers that someone else has shaped the stories being presented.…”

Segmental reporting in Singapore by Goh, Eddie Guan Chua, Jong, Voon Hoo, Kwong, Choong Kuen

“…We have also suggested for the mandatory disclosure of the basis of joint cost allocation to improve the disclosure requirement. Last but not least, we have found that the matrix form of presenting segmental reports (as shown in Chapter Six) can be used to enhance decision making and thus improve the disclosure requirement of SAS 23. …”

Politics in films : a historical study on film censorship and the emergence on public spaces in Singapore by Tan, Lilian

“…Using censored films of both fiction and documentary genres as case studies, the next chapter historicise the following films through the recurring theme of political dynamism and a critical analysis of these films based on three aspects: 1) film portrayal of the state, 2) rationale behind the censorship decisions, and 3) the implication of the ban in the time of broadcast. The last chapter explores how public spaces have transformed censorship, and highlights the ineffectiveness of the censorship bans, and thus should be re-examined in light of new changing trends in public spheres. …”
