Our Project
We’re on a mission to gather as many Malaysian stories as we can and keep them safe for future generations. And we need your help! Whether you’ve lived here all your life or just a short while, we invite you to share your tales. We believe there’s a positive side to Malaysian life that doesn’t always make the headlines, and we want to shine a light on it.
Starting in 2019, we created an online space to discuss the Federal Constitution, share interfaith perspectives, and build community. In 2020, we launched the “Saya Sayangi Malaysia” video project, showcasing our love for the nation. Now, with MyCeritaRakyat, we’re excited to hear from Malaysians of all ages, ethnicities, and communities. This is your platform to share your experiences and ensure every Malaysian voice is heard.
We are all Malaysians. This is the bond that unites us. Let us always remember that unity is our fundamental strength as a people and as a nation.
– Tunku Abdul Rahman
