Acknowledgements
This book came about in the strangest of ways and possibly also at the oddest point of my journey as a teacher, scholar, and writer. If there is a story behind every book, then there is certainly no lack of stories behind this one. The story that will, however, unfold here is one of sincere gratitude. Here, first and foremost, I thank my most helpful and supportive editors from Palgrave: Josh Pitt; Stephanie Carey, Joanna O’Neill, and Sophie Li (Springer). As a testimony to all the patient readers of this book, you will be hard-pressed to find a kinder team of editors for academic publishing! And even a small book such as this has to depend on the support and encouragement of many big-hearted colleagues and friends. I am truly grateful to the following individuals during the preparation and writing of this book (listed in alphabetical order of the last name): Chang Jiat Hwee; Cheah Kok Ming; Lilian Chee; Cho Im Sik; Heng Chye Kiang (Professor); Ho Puay Peng (Chair & Professor); Lai Chee Kien; Lam Khee Poh (Dean & Professor); Lee Kah Wee; Liao Kuei-Hsien (& Jiang Yenshe
