One of the most interesting indigenous groups in the world is the Batek of Malaysia, this is a group of people that live in the oldest rain forest of peninsular Malaysia.

Endcott 1979a; Lye 2004). The Batek believe that the “superhuman” beings created the forest for the Batek to harvest, build houses in, and provide also to decorations for their ceremonial rituals.
A journey can be defined as going from one place to another. Michael, in Andre Alexi’s “Kuala Lumpur”, goes on a journey though his father’s wake to find understanding and acceptance of the death. Sarosh, in Rohinton Mistry’s “Squatter”, goes on a journey to assimilate into Canadian society by trying to overcome the need for squatting on the toilet. Both experience a progressive sense of exile which manifests in a physical manner amongst peers and in a mental manner in the form of personal conflict. The exile felt by both of the characters can be defined by the ways in which ethnic isolation, confusion of identity, and the use of the carnivalesque are implemented in the formation of the journeys they take.

Singapore gained its independence after the separation from Malaysia to become a sovereign state due to the different political reasoning and principles between the ruling parties of Singapore and Malaysia. A sovereign state has the ability to go into relations with other sovereign states and practices internal control over the country through laws and rules. Singapore is no different from other sovereign states that would inevitably be dealt with obstacles that seek to undermine the sovereignty of states. Without sovereignty in Singapore, Singapore would never have the opportunity to make decisions, take up roles and beliefs that we currently uphold now. Being remarkably fruitful is deliberately basic for Singapore's sovereignty. Achievement
