Pan-Melayu Unity

People confuse race, ethnicity, and nationality. Race is based on shared genetics, lineage, physical description and geography. Ethnicity is based on culture and perceived similarities. Nationality is based on political status….Hokulani78

The Truth about Hang Kasturi

So I watched Silat Lagenda, P Ramlee’s Hang Tuah, Puteri Gunung Ledang and all sort of film that involves Hang Tuah. Not enough with that, I went to Perpustakaan Negara did some research about this.
