6 SIRD / Gerakbudaya New Once a Jolly Hangman Singapore Justice in the Dock (2nd Edition) Alan Shadrake Over the past few decades, investigative journalism has come to mean the kind of brave reporting that exposes injustice, wrongdoing and, above all, the abuse of power. Alan Shadrake’s hard-hitting book cuts through the official silence to reveal disturbing truths about Singapore’s use of the death penalty. From in-depth interviews with Darshan Singh, Singapore’s chief executioner for nearly fifty years, to meticulously researched accounts of numerous high profile cases, Once a Jolly Hangman is an exposé of gross abuses of fundamental human rights. This completely revised and updated edition also offers a compelling account of the author’s arrest and trial for contempt of court for daring to put the Singapore justice system in the dock. Publisher: SIRD 2011: 260 pp ISBN: 9789675832215: RM45.00 / S$29.50 New The Mighty Wave He Jin A major novel about the anti-colonial mass movement in Singapore in the 1950s which started with the Chinese middle school students assembling on 13 May 1954 at the pavements of Penang Road to petition the Governor for their exemption from national service. This mass gathering was forcibly broken up by the riot police. It ends with the 1959 general election, in which the political party they supported triumphed. The protagonists of the novel look forward to contributing to the new phase in Singapore’s political development. That was not to be. Set in the more rustic Singapore in the 1950s some of the scenes depicted are recognizable by the older generation, but have disappeared from the modern landscape. They cover locations like Tiong Bahru, Pasir Panjang, Siglap, and the Beach Road vicinity. The Mighty Wave is a Singaporean novel which deserves a place in the country's literary history.

Tourists looking for the same old tired propaganda about a sterilised shopping paradise should go waste their money on government-owned dailies. Singapore Sucks! Is a bouquet of sarcasm, is humour, insolent honesty and the discerning reader may even recognise a hint of patriotic fervour. Through an eclectic collection of short stories, essays and poems, our panel of largely Singaporean writers have captured and managed to convey the peculiar brand of insanity that can only be described as Uniquely Singapore. If you have ever wondered about Singaporeans' fascination with white culture, the Singlish vs. English divide or those elusive "Asian values" our politicians keep trying to shove down our docile minds, then this book is a must-read for you. Publisher: Gerakbudaya Enterprise 2011: 134 pp ISBN: 9789834479398: RM20.00 / S$13.00 New The May 13 Generation The Chinese Middle Schools Student Movement and Singapore Politics in the 1950s Edited by Tan Jing Quee, Tan Kok Chiang and Hong Lysa The May 13 Generation was the first belonging to the immigrant communities from China to grapple with the issues of being Malayan/Singaporean, breaking irrevocably with the received wisdoms of their elders, and in a political climate where their explorations were deemed to be subversive. This book comprises the recollections penned by the participants of the era of the 1950s, where their generation was in the forefront of the anti-colonial movement, and the work of academic researchers who have examined the historical framework and context of the period, as well as how it has been made to fit into the country’s mainstream history. The researchers have also examined the students’ cultural expressions, whether it is in art, drama, dance or literature and found them to be socially engaged, and grappling with the question of who they were as a people. The cultural explorations of that period have been forgotten or repudiated. It is revealing just how this amnesia and silence has become so set.

Plantilla & Salbiah Ahmad Asian States report to the United Nations human rights treaty monitoring bodies on the existence of laws, policies, programs and even local legislations that support human rights. They also report on court decisions upholding human rights. To what extent are these laws, policies, and programs faithful to the provisions of the international human rights instruments? Do they have impact on government systems in addressing human rights-related issues?

Apa yang menjadikan pandangan ini menarik untuk dinilai ialah ia datang daripada seorang yang hingga hampir 10 tahun lalu, satu tempoh panjang dalam hidupnya, terlibat dalam politik secara langsung, di kedua-dua belah garisan yang memisahkan dua kumpulan politik terbesar di negara kita. Satu pandangan yang perlu diberi perhatian ialah bagaimana politik kepartian menguasai segenap ruang aktiviti manusia di negara ini, sehingga hampir tidak ada lagi yang bebas daripada takrif dan penguasaan politik kepartian. – Haris Zalkapli, Penulis, Editor Akhbar Siasah 2006-2010 Publisher: SIRD 2011: 127 pp ISBN: 9789675832116 (Softcover): RM23.00 / S$15.00 ISBN: 9789675832154 (Hardcover): RM45.00 / S$29.30 New Our Stories Migration and Labour in Taiwan Ku Yu-ling Our Stories is not only about the lives of individuals; it is also a collective and social history of Taiwan. This is the contribution of Yu-ling and the activists in solidarity with the marginalized and the grassroots for the past two decades. - Jeng Tsuen-Chyi, Founder of Raging Citizens Act Now (RCAN) This is a highly literary book; the author has successfully fused literature and reportage together. Yu-ling has given us a unique perspective about the new migrants in our society, and described each and every one of them in a sensitive and sophisticated way with ease. It is a book difficult to put down once you have started reading.- Chen Kuan-Hsing, Author of “De-imperialization – Asia as Method” Publisher: SIRD 2011: 337 pp ISBN: 9789675832260: RM40.00 / S$26.00 Tel: +603 - 7957 8342/8343 Fax: +603 - 7954 9202 E-mail: sird@streamyx.com Website: www.gerakbudaya.com & bookshop.gbgerakbudaya.com 7
