Sokong Kami
The main objective of the Malay Heritage Foundation (MHF) is to promote and safeguard our shared heritage for all. Our shared heritage provides a common denominator for our collective identity to foster a common mindshare, a shared heart and build a strong inclusive Singapore.
President, Republic of Singapore
MHF wants to go far and deep in preserving and growing our shared heritage. This work of cultural promotion and preservation cannot be done alone. Especially when the landscape has become more globalised, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Giving to arts and cultural heritage often shunted aside. We hope you can embrace the gotong-royong spirit and show more solidarity in these challenging times
An African proverb says, “To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together.” MHF wants to go far and deep in preserving and growing our shared heritage. This work of cultural promotion and preservation cannot be done alone. Especially when the landscape has become more globalised, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Giving to arts and cultural heritage often suffer a setback despite the fact that this work needs to be continued, and in some instances, is becoming more important to provide respite from our highly digital-led world. We hope you can embrace the gotong-royong spirit and show more solidarity in these challenging times.
Sekiranya anda menghadiri persembahan percuma di halaman istana (istana kerajaan) kami, mengunjungi pameran kami, atau menghadiri bengkel mengenai warisan masakan kami, anda akan memerhatikan bahawa budaya terdapat dalam banyak aspek kehidupan seharian - ia merangkumi gaya kehidupan kita. Budaya merangkumi nilai-nilai, kepercayaan, tradisi, dialek dan adat istiadat kita. Ini terakam dalam sejarah, warisan dan cara kita meluahkan pemikiran dan imaginasi kita. Ia juga merupakan bahagian penting dalam kesejahteraan dan pembelajaran, dan dapat memainkan peranan dalam penyembuhan dan perkembangan sosial.
Semakin dunia ini menjadi lebih pelbagai, ia menjadi semakin jelas bahawa untuk membina masyarakat yang berjaya memperbaiki keadaan hidup dan menyelesaikan masalah-masalah seharian, kita perlu memahami dan menghargai kepelbagaian budaya, menjalin hubungan dengan budaya-budaya lain, dan membangunkan pakatan yang kuat dengan kumpulan budaya yang berbeza. Ini menjadi lebih penting dalam konteks pelbagai etnik dan budaya Singapura.
Melalui pelbagai program dan inisiatif kami, kami ingin memperlihatkan bagaimana warisan budaya kami dipupuk, diperkuat, direkodkan dan dipelihara, serta bagaimana ia dinyatakan dan ditafsirkan semula. Kami juga ingin berkongsi bagaimana kita mengalami warisan budaya yang ketara (tangible) dan tak ketara (intangible) serta peranan budaya sebagai pemacu ekonomi.
Walaubagaimanapun, wabak COVID-19 yang melanda dan belum pernah terjadi sebelum ini telah menjejaskan kehidupan di Singapura dan di seluruh dunia. Lapangan kesenian dan kebudayaan kita juga tidak terlepas daripada kesan-kesannya. Persembahan, pertunjukan, pameran dan acara seni dan budaya lain yang menjadi nadi masyarakat seni dan kehidupan budaya negara, telah dibatalkan atau ditangguhkan. Ini telah melumpuhkan pelaku seni dan budaya kita, pekerja budaya, dan keluarga mereka juga.
Usaha mempromosi, memelihara dan melindungi warisan kita tidak dapat dilakukan sendiri. Kami memerlukan anda - Penyokong Budaya kami - untuk menyokong usaha kami. Pemberian dan sumbangan anda akan membolehkan kami meneruskan kerja baik kami untuk mempromosikan dan melindungi warisan bersama kami untuk semua, dan memberi inspirasi kepada generasi duta seterusnya untuk pengawasan warisan kami yang lebih lama. Bersama-sama, kita dapat mencipta perubahan.
Our Impact
3rd Year NUS undergraduate MHF Intern, Jan - Apr 2022
Since 2005, MHF has kept Singaporeans and foreigners aware and fostered social cohesion by partnering the National Heritage Board (NHB) and other stakeholders to showcase exhibitions, workshops, interactive programmes, docent training and guided tours at the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) and the historic precinct of Kampong Gelam, all year round. MHC, located within the former istana (royal palace) was gazetted as a National Monument in 2015. Between 2012 and 2019 (prior to the outbreak of Covid19 pandemic), our National Monument welcomed and hosted almost 5 million visitors, both locals and overseas visitors to Singapore.
To enhance its documentation efforts, bridge the knowledge gap in our community and facilitate the intergenerational transfer of knowledge, MHF launched a new serial publication on heritage known as “Singapore Malays: Our Heritage and Legacy” in 2012. Seven titles had been published so far and we hope to publish more titles in the years to come. Next, we initiated an online publication portal and in 2020, we launched a new masterclass lecture series and a heritage webinar series. These contents reach out to a wider audience as they are made available and accessible to the public through our website and social media platforms. To date, it has benefited almost 700 participants and reached out to more than 22,000 people online.
Moving forward, we hope to continue growing this community on relevant digital platforms. In 2021, we introduced new awards to celebrate the contributions of our arts and cultural practitioners. At the same time, we also provided a sharing platform where practitioners, enthusiasts and activists can share their experiences and best practices, find out more about the latest initiatives that can help them remain viable and network to inspire more multi-disciplinary collaborations.
To engage and empower our youths, we provided an internship programme and awarded their academic excellence. Then, we started a youth-led discursive platform and launched a new recognition scheme to motivate and inspire them to stay on the path of becoming our future changemakers. Finally, we extended these conversations to youths from diverse backgrounds as they are our future stalwarts and agents for social change and progress. To date, more than 1,200 youths from diverse backgrounds have benefited from these programmes and initiatives. We are committed to reaching out to more youths in the upcoming years.

OUR CAMPAIGNS
Young people matter. They represent our future and are the main social agents for change and progress. What they do when they become adults will depend on what they think and act today. They have a strong sense of social justice and want to make a difference. So, they have a right to be included and kept #ITL. Regrettably, in an adult-run world, youths are often kept #OOTL and not asked for their views and ideas to address society’s challenges.
