The Making of Malaysia

Oral History Project

Pusat Sejarah Rakyat is committed to the telling of a Malaysian history from the perspective of the rakyat. As one of its initiatives, it is undertaking an oral history project to collect, store and restore the memories of men and women – ordinary citizens as well as prominent personalities – who have participated in the life of the nation. A nation needs a collective memory. This memory needs to be inclusive, with room for our particularities and our differences, as well as recognition of the shared struggles and sacrifices which went into the making of Malaysia.
