SINGAPORE - A new fund to support and promote Chinese language, literature, culture and the arts was launched on March 2 by the Singapore University of Social Sciences’ Centre for Chinese Studies in honour of its hononary adviser, Professor Eddie Kuo.
The first project to be funded will be the translation of the Chinese book “Unity in Diversity: Language and Society in Singapore” into English. Launched in July 2022, the book studied Singapore’s language planning and bilingual education policies, and issues such as national and racial consciousness. It was one of news weekly Yazhou Zhoukan’s 10 best non-fiction Chinese books of 2022.
He said: “This is really the last lap of my long journey, and what I had not expected is that I would be given a trophy. In spite of all the programmes to support and promote Chinese language and culture, there is still more that can be done.”
