“Cheng Ho and Islam in Southeast Asia“, a monograph is based upon author, Tan Ta Sen’s doctoral dissertation completed at the University of Indonesia in 2007, was published by ISEAS Publishing in 2009.
Over two half-day sessions, our researchers shared with the students some of the current hot topics in Southeast Asia, including the Free and Open Indo-Pacific, Belt and Road Initiative in Vietnam, ASEAN and AEC. This is the 9th consecutive year that ISEAS has hosted the OPUS for Syracuse University.
To trace the organisation’s historical development as well as to analyse some proposed future reforms, ISEAS invited Dr Azeem Fazwan Ahmad Farouk from the Center for Policy Research and International Studies, Universiti Sains Malaysia and Mr Zaidel Baharuddin, head of the UMNO Branch for Gombak, Selangor; to deliver a seminar as part of the “Malaysia in Transition Seminar Series”
