Special thanks are owed to Lawrence Wong and Kwok Kian Woon for their support of this venture, and to Shanmugapriya d/o Paskaran whose invaluable assistance to our entire work cannot be emphasized enough.
Many thanks, too, are due to Toni Tan and everyone at Cambria Press for their professionalism, friendly advice, and for working with us at every turn and twist.
Valuable exchanges with both undergraduate and graduate students at NTU, Singapore, over the past few years, inadvertently echo through the pages that the editors have written for this volume, for which we say Terimah Kaseh -Xie Xie -Nandri. An extra special thank-you is due to our MA student, Michelle Wang, whose sharp eye, invaluable help with the manuscript, and diligent attention to everything related to this volume was critical to its production.
*Thanks to NTU’s (Singapore) School of Humanities & Social Sciences, and the Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Studies (CLASS), NTU, for contributing valuable financial support to this venture.
With a multi-edited work such as this one, it would become too cumbersome to provide personal thanks all of the family and friends who provide the emotional support for work as this to progress to completion. But their support is much appreciated all the same.
