Saturday Mornings: A New Story for a New Generation... Inside the Revamped Malay Heritage Centre

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen celebrates the long‑awaited reopening of the Malay Heritage Centre on this week's Singapore Home Brew. Now refreshed, reimagined, and ready to welcome a new generation of visitors. Joining Glenn in the studio is Hafiz Shariff, General Manager of MHC, to take us inside the transformation. The revamped Centre features six refreshed galleries, new visitor facilities, and a powerful new narrative: Dari Rantau Ke Rumah (From the Region to Home) — tracing the evolution of Malay identities from the 19th century to today. Visitors will encounter a wider cast of pioneers, deeper representation of Malay sub‑ethnic groups, and a renewed focus on the contributions of Malay women in education, literature, and the arts. The refresh also includes five commissioned artworks by emerging and established Malay artists, weaving contemporary expression into historical storytelling. We explore MHC’s role as the cultural heart of Kampong Gelam, its vision to be the nexus of the Malay community, and the June holiday programmes — from treasure hunts to scent‑making workshops — designed to bring families together. Admission is free for everyone — Singaporeans, PRs, tourists — until 28 June.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
