WACANA WARISAN SERIES
Wacana Warisan Series (WWS) is a series of online lectures that aim to encourage the development of new and alternative approaches to understanding Malay history, economy, politics, society, and culture. Beyond the clichés and convenient mainstream narratives, lie many lesser-known facets of the Malay community in Singapore.
The first season of WWS was a year-long programme comprising 12 sessions from January to December 2021 and delivered by MHF Vice-Chairman, Dr. Azhar Ibrahim Alwee. The second season of WWS featured five different speakers. Participants who attended at least 80% of the webinars were issued a Certificate of Attendance. WWS lectures will mostly be delivered in Malay. To register for WWS, follow MHF on Facebook, LinkedIn or subscribe to the newsletter to be notified of any announcements.

Sembang Ilmu Plus(+) or SIP(+) is a spin-off from MHF’s previous event, Sembang Ilmu, a youth-led forum for the articulation to engage and empower our youths on issues related to Malay heritage, culture, and the arts known as Sembang Ilmu Seminar Series or SIS. SIS (roughly translates to “Let’s Chill & Chat!” in English), which debuted on 14 March 2020, was designed as a discursive platform organised by youth for youth. MHF extended the outreach of this platform to youths from other ethnic groups, by launching SIP(+) at Chamber, The Arts House on 18 June 2022.
