The Third

Malaysians are facing the biggest challenge in 2021 - the rise in COVID-19 cases and its variant of concern (VOC) strains. The scale and impact of this coronavirus disease are unimaginable, scary, and full of sorrows. Many lost their loved ones, relatives, friends, and children are becoming orphaned overnight. Now our only hope is on the available vaccines to control this deadly virus infection. When this Review article was in press, over 170 million confirmed cases with 3.5 million deaths were reported worldwide. Malaysia is dealing with spikes in the number and severity of new cases. A record toll of new cases and fatalities for consecutive weeks has pushed Malaysia's total cases to a soaring 500,000 confirmed cases with 2300 deaths – the third highest in Southeast Asia behind Indonesia and the Philippines. The healthcare system in Malaysia is currently under heavy pressure to control the disease as the number of confirmed cases is rising exponentially. A National COVID-19 Immunization Program was launched in February 2021 in the hope of providing immunity to 80% of the population in Malaysia and achieve herd immunity. This review discusses the alarming COVID-19 situation in Malaysia, the management strategies, and the vaccinations program.

Detailed Picture

This review article focuses on three recent publications on Islamic education in Southeast Asia. While two are monographs on South Thailand and Myanmar/ Burma, one is a collection of essays on Indonesia, Malaysia, South Thailand, Cambodia, and the Southern Philippines. All works highlight local, regional and international educational networks, as well as their connections to the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. Based chiefly on first-hand fieldwork, the works deliver an up-to-date and detailed picture of current discussions and developments regarding Islamic education in Southeast Asia.

Asian History

Three dimensions capture much of the variation in Western scholarly images of Southeast Asian history. Different works attribute to the region different combinations of relativeunityordiversity, continuityorchange, andoriginalityordependence. Each of these choices summarizes a major controversy in the study of Southeast Asia. Together they form a cube that can be used to review existing literature and to identify room for future interpretation. In the 1970s, the antithesis of original continuity(historicism)and dependent change(modernism)was orthodox. In the 1980s, scholars could transcend these alternatives by recasting them as an opposition of original change(microdynamism)to dependent continuity(macrosystemism). Historicist and modernist writings have relied too heavily on psychocultural and political explanations, as have the rationalizations of indigenous elites. Pursuing the proposed dialectic could therefore help to rescue economic differentiation and conflict from their present neglect as aids to understanding.

Individual Contributions

Early Southeast Asia is an impressive collection of papers dealing with the archaeology, history, epigraphy, art history, and geography of early Southeast Asian states and their development. The high scholarship of individual contributions notwithstanding, the collection as a whole demonstrates that the past thirty years have seen relatively little progress in understanding this important aspect of the social and cultural history of the region. Archaeologists have made many important new discoveries but have been unable to bring them to bear within a historical synthesis; related disciplines have dealt with other types of evidence but also seem unable to translate them into a common language of cultural and social meaning.
