We have often heard about the role the elite mainstream political actors played in Malaysia’s independence struggle.
But the reality is much more nuanced. Our independence is also a story about grassroots organising and resistance among workers, students, feminist groups and more.
Which is exactly what the exhibition called ‘Seeds of Resistance: Journey Towards Independence’ is all about. The exhibition, organised by Raja Ahmad Aminullah, a prominent Malaysian poet, writer and activist, is currently ongoing until 29 September at GMBB Kuala Lumpur.
BFM does a brief reflection of our journey to independence and discusses the ongoing exhibition with Raja Ahmad.
