Music Is Leading Southeast Asia’s Unity Movement

SEGi’s distinguished academic, Yii Kah Hoe, was recently featured among Southeast Asia’s leading music scholars at the PULSE Journal Seminar, held at PGVIM, Bangkok, from 9–11 March 2025. The seminar, themed “Resonating Across Borders: Building Bridges through Music in Southeast Asia”, gathered influential names such as Prof. Dr. Ramon P. Santos, Prof. Dr. Verne De la Pena, and Maestro Anant Narkkong to engage in deep discourse on cultural preservation and cross-cultural collaboration through music.

As a respected contemporary composer and cultural researcher, Yii’s presence at this elite forum amplifies SEGi College Subang Jaya’s commitment to regional leadership in arts, culture, and heritage studies. Discussions during the event spanned across heritage preservation, the evolution of Southeast Asian music, and strategies to deepen intercultural connectivity — resonating strongly with UNESCO’s calls for cultural diversity as a pillar for sustainable development.
