Content Acquisition : Rupa-rupa Malaysia

I have setup and online survey asking Malaysians on their view of Malaysia as a multiracial country. And it is still on going. The inputs gathered from the survey will serve as the initial data to display on the installation art.

More inputs will be collected on the day of the exhibition itself from users who participate with the installation. Here are a few comments Ive got so far :

"Malaysia istimewa sebagai multiracial country kerana sebagai rakyat Malaysia kita semua dapat belajar pelbagai budaya yang ada di negara kita. Selain budaya, kita juga dapat belajar cara bertoleransi antara satu sama lain. walaupun tidak dinafikan 'toleransi' adalah perkara yang agak rumit untuk lakukan, namun sedikit demi sedikit kita semua dapat belajar memahami satu sama lain apabila timbulnya sesuatu isu, dan dapat masa yang sama kita cuba menerima perbezaan yang ada."

"there's no word could describe how amazing such country like Malaysia could live peacefully with a multiracial citizen in it. All I can say is, "I'm proud to be Malaysian"

"it wont work since people tend to want equal things but then based on the 4 dimension of culture, the power dimension, we have to accept what we are given even if its not given out equally"

and there are a bunch of others. i am grateful to all participants.

same thing with images ( faces of Malaysians ) will also be gathered on the day itself. but ive contacted a few photographers and filmmakers if I could use their work for my fyp.

Faridzwan Siman was very kind to share his works with me and allowed me to use them. kudos to him. and also to elmi8 for his inspiring video



( Che' Mat's Saturday Walks is a great series portraying Malaysians. too bad he said it's only for personal use )
