ix + 127pp, bibliography. Paperback. "The name of Thomas Stamford Raffles continues to be a mark of prestige in Singapore, more than 200 years after he first established a British factory on the island. Not one but two statues of Raffles stand tall in prominent sites in Singapore?s civic and heritage district. Streets and squares are named after him, and important local businesses use the Raffles name. Does Thomas Stamford Raffles deserve this recognition? Should we continue to celebrate him? Or like the image of Cecil Rhodes in South Africa, must Raffles fall? Those exercised by the discussion and debates around Singapore's 2019 Bicentennial should know that the question was considered at length nearly 50 years ago, in Syed Hussein Alatas' slim but devastating volume Thomas Stamford Raffles: Schemer or Reformer? While publication of the work failed to spark a wide debate on Raffles? legacy in 1970s Singapore, it was noticed by Edward Said, who later cited Alatas? essay as one example of works that ?set themselves the revisionist, critical task of dealing frontally with the metropolitan culture, using the techniques, discourses, and weapons of scholarship and criticism once reserved exclusively for the European.? Nearly 50 years after its original publication, this extended essay on Raffles reads as fresh and relevant. Presented here for a new audience, Schemer or Reformer sets out the key elements of the debate in understanding Raffles' own political philosophy through the record of his actions, not just in Singapore, but in Southeast Asia in the years just before and after Singapore's foundation. A new introduction by Syed Farid Alatas assesses contemporary Singapore's take on Raffles, and how far we have or have not come in thinking through Singapore's colonial legacy."

Singapore, Donald Moore Press Ltd., 1968, 1st ed., (8),87 pag., original boards. = Rare first edition - a revised edition was published in 2015 under the title The Problem of Corruption. The Problem of Corruption is a well written and short treatise on the sociology of corruption by Syed Hussein Alatas, that rises far above some of the other treatises on corruption because of the thorough treatment and the theoretical insights that Alatas brings to his interpretation. It is a stimulating treatise because through his contextual approach to the subject Alatas deflates a number of hypotheses that have been put forward by a number of other investigators of the problem of corruption in underdeveloped countries.Most of the book is devoted to a detailed examination of the nature, function, causes, and prevention of corruption. In presenting his arguments and views the author draws considerably from the existing literature on corruption and frequently points out the short-comings of various other interpretations of the problem. As he himself points out, "the aim of this monograph is not a descriptive study of corruption in any particular area, but a theoretical exploration of the phenomenon, supported by available contemporary data on corruption." In his discussion of the nature of corruption, the author avoids giving any short-cut definition of corruption. He gives comprehensive criteria by which the complex phenomenon of corruption can be classified. In his discussion of the function and causes of corruption the author provides a critical examination of the various existing propositions about the function and causes of corruption. Using the contextual approach, he refutes some of the prevailing hypotheses concerning the functional role of corruption in the developmental process. Alatas points out that those who suggest that corruption has some positive function do not link their analysis with the different stages of corruption. He identifies three stages of corruption. Firstly, the stage at which corruption is relatively restricted and does not affect a wide area of social life. The second stage is where corruption has become rampant and all-pervading. The third stage is when corruption becomes self-destructive, having destroyed the fabric of society. It is possible that corruption may have some functional value at the first stage but widespread corruption inevitably impedes the prospects for sustained development. In his analysis of the causes of corruption, Alatas challenges the alleged impact of the "gift" as a traditional cultural practice whose predisposing effect has been to further a contemporary sub-culture of corruption. He states: "That there is no significant causal correlation between the gift and corruption is proved by the fact that the expansion and contraction of corruption have nothing to do with a similar occurrence in the field of gift behavior. Furthermore, the indirect causal influence of a gift is multi-dimensional. It can turn people away from corruption, apart from attracting them to it." In his view, the significance is given to the "gift" institution and the role of traditional family ties should be reexamined in the light of contextual and historical analysis. There is no single cause of corruption. He subscribes to the theory of multiple factors in the causation of corruption, each of which is of varying importance, depending on spatial and temporal factors. In the prevention of corruption, Alatas identifies some factors which mitigate corruption. These factors include the following: (1) A positive attachment to the government and spiritual involvement in the task of progress from both the public and bureaucracy. (2) Efficient administration and the proper structural adjustment of government machinery and regulation so as to avoid the creation of sources of corruption. (3) Favorable historical and sociological conditions. (4) The function of an anti-corruption value system. (5) The inspiring leadership of a group with high moral and intellectual standards. (6) An educated public opinion. And finally, he suggests that in addition to these methods to curb the growth of corruption, the dissemination of the teachings of sacral personalities against corruption can be useful in curbing corruption. One can dispute some of the assertions and conclusions of this book but its main contribution is that it sets a format for sophisticated intellectual encounters with the complex problem, of corruption. The Problem of Corruption warrants the attention not only of the academic community but also of any person who is interested in the dynamics of modern bureaucracy, social change, and economic development.…
