Inspired by Walter Mignolo's call to decolonise knowledge, this article reassesses the universal applicability of Sveltana Boym's celebrated theory of nostalgia unto contexts outside of post-communist Slavic cultures. It extends the Malaysian anthropologist Wazir Jahan Karim's study of emotions in Malay culture into the literary sphere to outline a distinctive form of nostalgia in contemporary literary prose written by Malay Singaporean authors that can be read as disrupting the official Singapore story of unbridled progress. Focusing on selected works by Suratman Markasan and Mohamed Latiff Mohamed, it identifies an angst-ridden form nostalgic trope that it calls rindu rustic, or rustic longing, which laments the loss of kampong life in Singapore. Comparisons are then drawn to the rustic longing expressed in the Singapore-set works of Malay Malaysian authors, Abdul Samad Ismail and Abdul Samad Said, to delineate differences borne out of national consciousness across both sides of the Causeway. Lastly, it argues that the rindu rustic of the Malay Singaporean authors can be figured as a distinctive form of nostalgia peculiar to Singapore that draws from the features of Boym's two conceptions of nostalgia, restorative and reflective, and critiques Chua Beng Huat's theory of Singapore's reassuring nostalgia for the kampong.
