In the Martial Arts in Southeast Asia course conducted by NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences lecturer Dr Mohamed Effendy from the Department of Southeast Asian Studies, students experience Southeast Asia’s warrior spirit first-hand by immersing themselves in the diversity of cultures embedded in the region.
