Abstract:	The establishment of the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall marks the PAP government's charting of a revolutionary, modernising genealogy of seismic proportions for the fashioning of a 'Big Singapore' as the political, economic and cultural focus of the Chinese diaspora. Such effort in reorienting history is problematic and the ethnicisation of national identity is contested, not least by Singapore's Chinese-language intellectuals. © 2004 The National University of Singapore.
