Explore the contemporary culture and traditional customs of
Singapore and Malaysia in a volume that belongs on shelves in every
high school and public library. Culture and Customs of Singapore
and Malaysia examines all aspects of contemporary life in these two
geographically close and historically and culturally connected
nations, starting with the people fighting to maintain a balance
between the new and the traditional. The book shows how religion
has evolved through time in the two nations and examines how
literature and traditional crafts thrive today. It highlights the
performing arts and entertainment, noting how Western culture has
influenced and shaped new customs. Housing and architecture, both
modern and traditional, are discussed, along with cuisine and
fashion. Students can use the book to analyze gender roles and
family life. They can also read about the ways in which festivals
are celebrated and can compare and contrast leisure activities of
Singapore and Malaysia with their own. The volume concludes with a
look to the future of these two evolving countries, both moving
toward modernity, but still holding on to the traditions of the
past.
