Jalan2Cuap2 – Untuk kesekian kalinya saya terkagum dengan Malay Heritage Center, Singapura. Meski tak memilik banyak koleksi seperti musuem di Indonesia. Namun museum yang terletak di Kampung Glam konsisten memiliki agenda yang selalu asik untuk dikulik. Salah satunya pameran tak tetap yang temanya berubah-ubah setiap beberapa bulan.
Saat ini sedang berlangsung pameran bertajuk Mereka Utusan: Imprinting Malay Modernity yang menyajikan informasi perkembangan penerbitan di Singapura.
Penasaran dengan koleksi pameran , kamu nggak perlu jauh-jauh datang ke Singapura, intip yuk video Jalan2Cuap2 berikut.

Mereka Utusan presents insights into the development of Malay modernity and identity through the language of advertisements and editorial cartoons produced during the 1920s – 1960s. Through these features, Malay modernity and identity were simultaneously imagined and discussed in colonial Malaya and Singapore amidst important historical developments in the 20th century.The 1920s witnessed the growth of Malay publishing houses throughout the Straits Settlements. Whilst the history of Malay printing is intertwined with the production of religious texts, the 20th century saw publishing play a more central role in politics, commerce and entertainment within the Straits Settlements and the Malay peninsula. This is perhaps most evident in the field of politics where newspapers and magazines gained momentum from various nationalist movements in the 1920s and invigorated Malay communities through widespread coverage and commentary on these events.
Newspapers and magazines therefore created (mereka) a space for the coverage and development of such news items. In doing so, they sought to cultivate a modern generation of readers, writers and consumers (utusan).
