Excellent- More about Living With Civilisations: Reflections On Southeast Asia's Local And National Cultures
Professor Wang Gungwu, the 12th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore, has edited a book that explores how great civilisations have shaped the local identities and cultures of the Southeast Asian region, including Singapore. The book highlights the impact of the Indic, Sinic, and Islamic civilisations, as well as the idea of modernity brought about by Christian European civilisation, on Singapore's national identity and development. The IPS-Nathan Lecture series, launched in 2014, aims to advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national interest for Singapore.

Professor Wang Gungwu, the 12th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore at the Institute of Policy Studies, has authored a book that presents an edited compilation of his four IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered from November 2022 to March 2023. This captivating volume encompasses highlights from the question-and-answer sessions with the audience, shedding light on the diverse local cultures and distinct local identities found within the Southeast Asian region.
As the focal point of Southeast Asia, Singapore's national identity and development have been profoundly shaped by ancient civilizations such as the Indic, Sinic, and Islamic. Furthermore, the advent of modernity, brought about by Christian European civilisation, has had a significant impact on our region. By delving into the history of Singapore from this perspective, we gain valuable insights into how the country's modern identity is evolving and how it contributes to our understanding of the region's place in the modern world order.
The IPS-Nathan Lecture series, initiated in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore, bears the name of Singapore's sixth and longest-serving president. Its primary objective is to enhance public understanding and foster meaningful discussions on issues of paramount national importance for Singapore. Through this series, Professor Wang Gungwu has played a pivotal role in contributing to the intellectual discourse surrounding Singapore's development and its role in the global landscape.
