Jejak perjalanan sejarah mencari jati diri

Berita Harian noted the fourth Cendekiawan Lestari Series, organized by the Malay Heritage Foundation featured A/P Hadijah Bte Rahmat, Head/Asian Languages and Cultures Academic Group, as a guest speaker. A/P Hadijah delivered a lecture entitled “Melayu Arif Budiman: Jejak Perjalanan Mencari Jatidiri dan Menerokai Visi Kebudayaan Melayu di Tengah Alam Jagatraya”. She began by shedding some light on her choice of topic which aimed to discuss the question of identity, image and vision for Malay culture in the development of the Malay community in Singapore. She shared that the negative perception and image of the Malays, long shaped by Western colonialists, has spread to affect the mind and soul of the Malays and a multi-racial Singapore. A/P Hadijah stressed the need for a more agile society to pursue knowledge, evaluate and look ahead, and also dare to explore and lead the currents of extraordinary change and new norms of life.
