My current Masters supervisor actually did a M.A. and Ph.D. on Funeral
Rites, Customs etc. (Anthropology).

Here is his name:

TONG, Chee Kiong.

I think the M.A. was done in National University of Singapore
and the Ph.D. was done in Cornell.

They should have been published around 1981-1984.

I don't have the exact titles now, but I could check if you want.
If you want his mailing address, it is:

TONG Chee Kiong

well jack,

   seems like hell had broken loose long before you'd thought. if you go
by word of mouth within all states, you'd know that these incidents are
not new, but then, that's by word of mouth !

   as has been reported, the tabling of the issue for debate in the
parliament was done by the present dpm, en. ghafar baba. as the outcome
will show, all the mps present during the sitting, all voted for the
motion to prevent such incidents from recurring, including the opposition
members. however, this very same issue was once brought into the house by
mr. karpal singh (who voted for the motion too) only to be thrown out and
himself suspended for it !! that's what you'd call hell then ? wonder what
the expression 'give 'em hell' will mean here then ..

   wonder why the sudden gung-ho for justice, and the protection for the
man in the street ? whatever happened to have suddenly made these people
open their eyes ? can't see evil anymore ? lest this has anything to do
with the party's (the majority) previous brush with the royal family from
a northern state in the peninsular.

	There are people around my hall of residence that do that, but
our term starts from July to Oct and Dec - Mar.  Perhaps you can write

	I went to ASU this Summer for my Summer course. If your friend like the 
hot weather there, then it will be a nice place. The people there were very
sporting (at least I found myself very active -- to release my body heat...)

	As other state universities are confronting now, ASU is under the
budget cut recently. Some buildings are close to save money. One of the new
building, Common Computing, is close even though the contruction has been
done. 

	Nevertheless, I think it is a very potential university (a lot of
buildings are under construction now, e.g. Building of Excellence,etc)

	The weather in UA, Tucson is much more like Malaysia. The temperature
is lower than ASU in Tempe. I went there for a basketball game with some
Malaysians there. As I know, there are about 70 Malaysians in ASU. Don't know
much about UA.

In UK, you left out Glasgow.  The turnout for the fair in Glasgow was much
higher than either London or Manchester.

If I am not mistaken, the fair is to be held sometime in March 1993 in the
UK.  Not sure about the time for the US.
