This text argues that Nietzsche's idea of invalid policy that is
believed to be valid and Heidegger's concept of doubt as the reason
for a representation are essentially the same idea. Using this
insight, the text investigates vignettes from colonial occupation
in Southeast Asia and its protest occupations to contend that
untruth, covered in camouflages of constancy and morality, has been
a powerful force in Asian history. The Nietzschean inflections
applied here include Superhumanity, the eternal return of trauma,
the critiques of morality, and the moralisation of guilt. Many
ideas from the Heideggerian canon are used, including the struggle
for individual validity amidst the debasement and imbalance of
Being. Concepts such as thrownness, finitude and the remnant
cultural power of Christianity, are also deployed in an expose of
colonial practices. The book gives detailed treatment to
post-colonial Malaya (1963), Japanese occupied Hong Kong
(1941-1945), and the tussle with communism in Cold War Singapore
and Malaya, as well as the question of Kuomintang KMT validity in
Hong Kong (1945-1949) and British Malaya (1950- 1953). The book
explains the struggles for identity in the Hong Kong protest
movement (2014-2020) by showing how economic distortion caused by
landlordism has been covered by aspirations for freedom.
