- Landlessness was virtually unknown in Cambodia prior to the outbreak of the civil war in 1970. The years of war and now the impact of privatization and population expansion have altered the situation dramatically. Various surveys put the landlessness rate in Cambodia between 15 and 20 percent and rising. Many families have been forced to sell land to cope with poverty and indebtedness. A few have lost land through land-grabbing by powerful figures. One response to the growing landlessness has been the preparation of mechanisms to redistribute State land to landless households. Whether this response is appropriate or feasible is open to question.

- In Indonesia and Malaysia, two Southeast Asian countries with almost the same official language and a similar Malay culture, Islam is the dominant religion. In Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world where more than 90 per cent of the population are Muslims Islam has no official position. In principle all recognized religions are equal. In pancasila, the five statements which make up the constitution of the Indonesian republic, the first point refers generally to belief in God, without mentioning any specific religion by name. In Malaysia, where just over 50 per cent of the population are Muslims, Islam is nevertheless the official state religion, and by being classified as bumiputra, sons of the earth, the native population, that is the Muslim Malays, enjoy a number of privileges. Under the influence of many different orthodox mission groups, known as the dakwah-movement, the position of Islam in Malaysian society has steadily strengthened during the last two centuries. The two dominant Malay parties, the United Malays National organisation (UMNO) and the Persatuan Islam se-Malaysia (PAS), almost seem to compete to satisfy Islamic demands.

- The birds are flying again in the old wetu telu mosque of Bayan! During a recent visit to Bayan, an old Sasak village in North Lombok where I did fieldwork in the early 1970s, I suddenly noticed that the birds had returned to the village wetu telu mosque. Below the ceiling, where before there had only been a void, they were now once again flying freely. During my earlier work, I had been secretly told that until 1967, the mosque had contained a number of wooden, carved birds, hanging from the ceiling. In this year, which was a year of unrest and religious persecution in Lombok, the birds were removed and hidden in a secret place, but now they were back again.
