Kunjungan Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Muda Mahkota Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah ke Taman Warisan Melayu

Yayasan Warisan Melayu berbesar hati menerima kunjungan Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Muda Mahkota Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah ke Taman Warisan Melayu sempena lawatan rasmi Baginda ke Singapura. Baginda telah disambut oleh Encik Zaqy Mohamad, Pemangku Menteri Bertanggungjawab bagi Ehwal Masyarakat Islam dan Menteri Negara Kanan bagi Pertahanan, serta Dr Roszalina Bte Rawi, Pengerusi Yayasan Warisan Melayu, bersama wakil Taman Warisan Melayu dan Yayasan Warisan Melayu.

Dalam kunjungan tersebut, Baginda berpeluang mengenali dengan lebih dekat sejarah, budaya dan warisan hidup masyarakat Melayu Singapura menerusi lawatan ke Taman Warisan Melayu yang baru diperbaharui. Kunjungan ini turut memberi ruang untuk memperkenalkan pelbagai kisah dan tradisi yang mencerminkan kekayaan warisan Melayu di Singapura.

Baginda turut mencuba Lontara dengan menekap dan mencetak nama Baginda dalam tulisan tradisional tersebut, sebagai sebahagian daripada pengalaman mengenali warisan budaya serantau.

Kunjungan ini mencerminkan hubungan budaya dan warisan yang erat antara Singapura dengan Negara Brunei Darussalam, serta hubungan yang terus terjalin melalui sejarah, tradisi dan pertukaran budaya di rantau ini.

The Malay Heritage Foundation was honoured to welcome His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah to the Malay Heritage Centre as part of His Royal Highness’s official visit to Singapore. His Royal Highness was received by Mr Zaqy Mohamad, Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs and Senior Minister of State for Defence, and Dr Roszalina Bte Rawi, Chairperson of the Malay Heritage Foundation, together with representatives from the Malay Heritage Centre and Malay Heritage Foundation.

During the visit, His Royal Highness had the opportunity to learn more about the history, culture and living heritage of Singapore’s Malay community through a tour of the recently revamped Malay Heritage Centre. The visit also provided an opportunity to share the many stories and traditions that reflect the richness of Malay heritage in Singapore.

His Royal Highness also tried his hand at Lontara, tracing and printing his name in the traditional script as part of an experience exploring the region’s cultural heritage.

The visit reflected the close cultural ties and shared heritage between Singapore and Brunei Darussalam, as well as the longstanding connections sustained through history, tradition and cultural exchange across the region.

 
 
 

Bagaimanakah warisan Melayu dapat terus hidup dan kekal relevan untuk generasi akan datang?

Dalam wawancara bersama BERITA Mediacorp, Pengerusi Yayasan Warisan Melayu, Dr Roszalina Rawi, berkongsi visinya untuk memberi lebih banyak ruang kepada golongan belia dalam mencorak masa depan warisan Melayu.

Daripada penglibatan belia hingga pengiktirafan terhadap pengamal seni tradisional, wawancara ini mengajak kita melihat bagaimana warisan dapat terus berkembang dan memainkan peranan yang bermakna dalam kehidupan masyarakat.

Dr Roszalina turut menekankan pentingnya penyelidikan, penulisan dan wacana intelektual dalam memastikan warisan terus berkembang, difahami dan dihargai oleh masyarakat. Bagi beliau, warisan perlu terus diamalkan, dibincangkan dan ditafsir agar sentiasa hidup serta dekat dengan setiap generasi.

We are so excited to celebrate the incredible achievement of Nurul Ain, whose short story has been published in Dewan Sastera, one of Malaysia’s most prestigious literary magazines! 🎉📖

Nurul Ain was one of the mentees in our Malay Writers’ Residency 2025, where she was mentored by Prof. Madya Dr. Mawar Safei.

A passionate educator, editor, translator and writer, Nurul Ain currently teaches Malay part-time at inlingua School of Languages and lectures part-time at the National University of Singapore’s Centre for Language Studies. She also works as a freelance editor, copy editor, translator and writer for both Malay and English content.

Her short story, Cinta Antara Tinta, was featured in the July 2026 edition of Dewan Sastera, marking a wonderful milestone in her writing journey.

This remarkable achievement is not only a proud milestone for Nurul Ain, but also a promising start to our continued collaboration with SBC in nurturing new writers and growing Singapore’s local Malay literary arts scene. We hope her journey will inspire more aspiring writers to find their voice, tell their stories and pursue their passion for the literary arts. 🌟📚

Congratulations, Nurul Ain, on this well-deserved achievement! We are incredibly proud to see your talent and passion for writing continue to flourish, and we look forward to seeing more of your work reach readers near and far. 🌟📖
