The Idea of an Old Qur'an Manuscript: On the Commercialization of the Indonesian Islamic Heritage

Author(s):  
Edwin Wieringa

A Qur’an manuscript, now in the possession of the University of Cologne, Germany (call number Cod. Malaiologie 001/2012), can be regarded as a “fake” in the sense of having a misleading appearance. This manuscript is a fairly recent bricolage which aims to represent the idea of an old Qur’an manuscript, thereby catering to the increased demand on the international market for old manuscripts from insular Southeast Asia.

Considering that, except for the initial period of the Emergency, Malaysia as a country attracted far less attention internationally than most of the other countries in Southeast Asia, it is somewhat surprising to find that many foreign historians did not hesitate to make Malaysian history the subject of their scholarly works. L.A. Mills wrote in 1924, 1942, and again in 1958; Rupert Emerson in 1937. In 1935, a Ph.D. thesis was completed by M.I. Knowles in the University of Wisconsin. In 1943, Virginia Thomson wrote Postmortem on Malaya. The post-1950 situation was even more exciting. Numerous theses on Malaysia were written in various universities in the world — among them SOAS, ANU, Hong Kong, California, Columbia, and Duke. Of course, by far the greatest volume of work was done in the University of Malaya (Singapore) itself where, between 1951 and 1961, more than a hundred theses were completed at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Understandably, in the mid-sixties, there was a growing feeling that the field was being exhausted.

The purpose of this study was to identify the practice patterns of disclosure of Intellectual Capital Disclosure by Universities in the Three Southeast Asian Countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore based on the 4ICU ranking, conducting different tests of ICD practices at the University of the three countries, and providing recommendations on IC management strategies in university. This research is a type of mixed research (quantitative and qualitative). The other research results state that there are no differences in the ICD disclosure pattern between Universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Recommendations for IC management strategies in higher education can be done with comprehensive intellectual capital management (CICM). The research implication is that universities in Southeast Asia need to carry out IC disclosure because it is a form of management accountability to stakeholders and also for decision making related to universities.
