We will collaborate with Universitas Muslim Indonesia (UMI) on preserving, digitising, and translating the (currently believed to be from the 19th century) Daeng Paduppa manuscript that sheds light on the historical and trade interactions between Bugis-Makassar and Singapore.
Daeng Paduppa was a Bugis prince who, in addition to being a trader, was said to have close relations with Hajjah Fatimah, a tradeswoman and philanthropist.
The collaboration aims to translate the Bugis-Makassar script into Indonesian and English, and will be made available to those interested in the study of early Bugis settlers who arrived as maritime traders and played a pivotal role in Singapore's development as a regional trading hub. The translation project will be led by Dr Mohamed Effendy B Abdul Hamid from NUS Southeast Asian Studies, together with researchers from UMI.
The manuscript, both in its original and translated versions, will soon be accessible to scholars and the general public via our Digital Gems microsite.

Historically, Singapore was home to a diverse and diasporic population, resulting in a linguistically heterogeneous society. “Striking A Balance: The Management of Language in Singapore” studies the language management in Singapore, with a specific focus on how language serves both as a valuable resource and a means to enhance national unity.

What are some ways immersive technology can be deployed outside of the classroom?
NUS librarians, Steven and Jie Ying, were at the recent NUS Wellbeing Pop Up in UTown to demonstrate how immersive technology can help improve both physical and mental wellbeing. Donning VR headsets, students got to try out various apps that promote relaxation.
“There’s a variety of stress relieving apps out there – from gaming, exercise to meditation. Through an immersive tool such as VR headset, it ups the experience significantly. Users are taken on a journey which instantly helps them take their minds off the daily stressors and focus on what they experience”, said Steven, who heads the library's Digital Strategy team.
Keen to try it? We offer a suite of tech immersive tools for the NUS community. Check it out at: https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/spaces/tel-imaginarium.
