Rights Information
Stories of the Malays of Pulau Pinang has been ignored and mostly disappeared from the memories of many. Thus, the experience and description of the ‘Tanjong people’ and people from other areas in the island or mainland must be told and published for the benefit of future generation. It is for this reason that this book on the narrative of Pulau Pinang Malay community life is written under the CenPRIS‐ Dato’ Jenaton Lecture Series project that began in November 2016. The stories that have marked the history and shaped the community was told by invited speakers from various backgrounds. They are the source of history who shared their stories, and also interpreted and encouraged discussions on the history and heritage of the Malays, not to forget the encounter of Malay‐Islam with other cultures and ethnicities in and outside of the Malay archipelago. The stories and description of the life in Tanjong, Air Itam, Batu Uban, Bagan and Balik Pulau, and the importance of family tree are the stories you might heard before, but never in great detail as written in this book.
