SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Autonomies: Learning from Sarawak\, Deciding for Sabah
DESCRIPTION:“Think and act like a Sarawakian.” It’s advice we Sabahans hear often—from our own leaders and even from voices across the South China Sea. Sarawak is admired as a model: stable\, confidently autonomous\, governed by home-grown parties with a strong regional identity. But should Sabah simply follow the same path? Arnold Puyok argues that Sarawak’s path was shaped by a history Sabah never shared—from the Brooke era to the anti-cession movement—that borrowing it wholesale may not serve Sabah best. Drawing on history and the idea that Sabah’s much-debated “fragmentation” may hold hidden democratic strengths\, Puyok asks what it truly means for Sabah to chart its own course.

SUMMARY:Staging Indigenous Heritage: Instrumentalisation\, Brokerage and Representation
DESCRIPTION:Staging Indigenous Heritage: Instrumentalisation Brokerage and Representation in Malaysia explores the politics of Indigenous cultural villages in Malaysia. Demonstrating that such villages are often beset with the politics of brokerage and representation. By critically examining the relationship between Indigenous tourism and development through the establishment of Indigenous cultural villages\, our speaker shows that the opportunities for self-representation and self-determination can become entwined with the politics of brokerage and the contradictory dualism of culture. By challenging the simplistic conceptualisation of Indigenous communities as harmonious and unified wholes\, Cai shows how Indigenous cultures are actively forged\, struggled over\, and negotiated in contemporary Malaysia.　TE
