Kami Orang Sini Juga #2: How Do Young Malaysian-Chinese Define Identity?

Kami Orang Sini Juga is a new mini-series in collaboration with IMAN Research. This series explores how young Malaysian Indians and Chinese understand identity, belonging, and their place in Malaysia today. It builds on IMAN’s earlier project, Orang Kita, which focused on Malay Muslim youth.In the second episode, we explore what it means to be Malaysian-Chinese today — not just as an ethnic category, but as a lived identity shaped by history, language, class, geography, religion, politics, and global culture.We unpack this with Violet Lee, Researcher, IMAN Research. Listen to Episode 1 of the series here.And if you missed it, we previously covered IMAN’s Orang Kita project on Malay-Muslim youth.
