One Sunday in September 2013, I was part of Bedok Public library's tour to Malay Heritage Centre. It's also my first visit to Bedok library."Fill yourself with the Arts" is a series of programs conducted at various libraries across Singapore. This was part of Walk with us Series. I registered for the programs and took Arshi along.2 way transportation was provided free of cost.A great initiate by NLB.
Malay Heritage Center is located at Istana Kampong Glam.It is a place I had never explored before.I got to know about Malay culture,the changing trends in Malay community,Malay community leaders and also the Malay who were reason behind building this strong nation.This Malay Heritage Centre was opened to public in the year 2005.It was built some 160 years back.They have aquaried the place after the Government had declared it as a conservation place.We were lucky enough to have a guided tour of the centre where our guide explained many of our queries.The photos will speak now:
 |
| Community pioneers |
 |
| First President of Singapore |
 |
| Some art crafts |
 |
| Zubir's Singapore's national anthem composition |
After coming from the Malay Heritage Center , I was able to know more about the Malay culture,how they have evolved in Singapore and how their lifestyle has changed with the changing times in a very interesting way and more importantly about their contribution to this red -dot nation.
P.S-I attended this as part of -
‘Fill yourself with the Arts’, organised by NLB
