TOWNS OF MALAYA ILLUSTRATED OVER 150 YEARS


In tandem with Malaysia celebrating 60 years of Independence, Towns of Malaya is an inspiring reminder of how the towns of this country came to be.
VIP GUEST THE SECOND PRINCE OF NEGRI SEMBILAN H.H TUNKU ZAIN AL-ABIDIN TUANKU MUHRIZ WITH AUTHORS MARIANA ISA, DR NEIL KHOR AND MAGANJEET KAUR 


A publication showcasing the urban history of the Peninsula was launched today in KL Gallery. Authored by Dr. Neil Khor, Mariana Isa and Maganjeet Kaur, this coffee-table book was a collaboration between Think City and Editions Didier Millet.

The book is an illustrated urban history of the Malay Peninsula up to 1957, focusing primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries. Divided into four main chapters, on royal towns, port towns, mining towns and other towns, it provides insights into some 35 of the peninsula’s urban centres and their development.

Drawing on extensive photographic and map archives including those of the National Archives of Malaysia and private collections, the book highlights Malayan urban life in days gone by. 

“We hope this book gives readers a sense of nostalgia and rootedness, as well as many interesting anecdotes about the towns they were from,” said Dr. Neil Khor, author and Chief Operating Officer of Think City.

Think City works to create more liveable and sustainable cities across the country. One of their many efforts in doing this is to capture and preserve the stories and traditions of Malaysia’s cities. This strengthens appreciation and sense of pride and belonging among citizens.

This publication serves to deepen the knowledge of those interested in the functions of towns over a century ago.

The book is priced at RM99.00 and available in all major bookstores across Malaysia. For more information, contact Duncan Cave at duncan.cave@thinkcity.com.my
