Volume 21, Issue 2 of SEAMJ is here, with a special issue that considers COVID-19 in the context of Southeast Asia (SEA).

This issue begins with an editorial that examines border relations and restrictions in SEA during COVID-19. Other articles examine such topics as university students’ perception of online learning during the pandemic; the micro-scaled but burgeoning Bruneian screen industry; a profile of former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's advice on COVID in Malaysia; adaptations made in providing palliative care in the current era of disruptions; COVID's impact on achieving sustainable development goals through a comparative lens of Bangladesh and the Philippines; the use of rhetorical language in the spread of COVID information in Brunei; racial discrimination in Brunei in the second wave of COVID; and a review of a book that demonstrates that the Indonesian Revolution was not just a nationalist undertaking but also an “Islamic” one.

Below you will find a linked list of the articles, as well as a link to the full issue.
