The Silent Word
The book comprises a selection of the papers presented at an international conference on "Meaning as Production: The Role of the 'Unwritten'", held in Singapore in 1995. It takes textual analysis beyond the traditional boundaries of literary studies, into a more culturally dynamic field of social semiotics, rhetorical studies, hermeneutics and theories of interpretation. There are also essays that explore the issues with reference to canonical literary texts or authors.

Broadcasting in the Malay World
The study considered questions on five broad topics regarding mass communication in the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago: 1. How does broadcasting reflect cultural pluralism, and what role is assumed by media in cultural integration policies? How do policies guard against the unwanted influence of foreign cultures? How have economic and social policies for national development been carried out by radio and television? Some examples: How does Singapore's "Speak Mandarin" campaign utilize media; how is educational programming provided for in Malaysian broadcasting; and how are radio and television used to mobilize development activities in Indonesian villages? 3. Through what processes are national media policies formulated and implemented? What issues are important in guiding media, and how is mass communication made to conform with national political principles? 4. What are the similarities and contrasts in broadcasting activities among the countries studied? How do organizations go about the business of producing and scheduling programs? 5. How have advances in technology, particularly the introduction of video and satellites, shaped media policy, programs, and broadcast audiences?
