Panggilan Terbuka bagi Cadangan Penerbitan
Due to our multicultural environment and historical as well as cultural links to the wider Malay world (Nusantara), many of our cultural practices and art forms have also evolved in response to Singapore’s context. To date, there is not much writing or research to document these developments and growth. As such, MHF is open to collaborate with writers on this documentation efforts. The topics and areas of focus we are interested in are as follows:
- Evolusi dan perkembangan amalan budaya dan seni kita, terutamanya warisan budaya yang tidak ketara;
- Social history and cultural development of Malays in Singapore; and
- Socio-economic life and the spirit of enterprise of the Malay community in Singapore.
