Preserving The Memories of Malaysia's History One Story At A Time

30/09/2026

Are you that person who can talk to anyone and actually make things happen?

The Living History Project is hiring a Sponsorship & Partnerships Manager to help us find and build the partnerships that keep our stories alive.

This is for someone who loves meeting people, building real relationships, and believes that Malaysia’s personal stories, community histories, and cultural memory are worth preserving. You’ll help us connect with sponsors, partners, and supporters who can help grow our digital museum and keep meaningful community work alive.

If you have the passion, initiative, and persistence to champion arts, culture, and heritage in Malaysia, this is your sign to apply.

Apply via the link in our bio.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Dr Ar Jimmy Lim Cheok Siang, whose life and story we had the privilege of documenting.

A distinguished Malaysian architect and fierce advocate for our architectural heritage, Jimmy’s legacy reaches far beyond the buildings he designed. It lives in the ideas, values and convictions he stood for.

To sit with Jimmy and listen to him recount his journey was to understand how deeply personal memory shapes our collective history. We are deeply grateful he entrusted us with his story, and honoured that his voice and memories will now remain preserved for generations to come.

Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and all whose lives he touched.

From,
The Living History Project

Malaysia mourns as we’ve lost an inspirational role model. Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Binti Mohamad Ali, the wife of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has died at the age of 100.

She was among Malaysia’s first pioneering Malay women doctors, having graduated from the King Edward VII College of Medicine in Singapore in 1955, where she met Tun Dr Mahathir.

Over the course of her public health career, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah dedicated herself to maternal and child health, becoming Kedah’s first female State Maternal and Child Health Officer in 1974. In her role as the Prime Minister’s wife, she championed women’s health, family planning, drug prevention and adult literacy.

The couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in August 2026. Tun Dr Siti Hasmah had been officially recognised by ASEAN Records as the oldest living spouse of a former prime minister.

With deep sadness on behalf of TLHP, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his family.

We are still thinking about this night 💛

From the silhouettes our grandmothers wore to the cuts we would wear out for an occasion today, this is our little recap from Kenangan Kebaya: Silhouettes of History, curated by John Ang who knows the story behind every stitch.

One of the main highlights, besides the beautiful kebayas, was the women wearing them. Our friends, our heroes, women who spend every day protecting culture, heritage and the environment.

Thank you to everyone who came, supported, and helped make the evening so special. Most importantly, thank you for helping us keep preserving Malaysian history and stories in the words of the people who lived them.

A heartfelt thank you to SAMYAMA by John Ang for bringing the showcase to life, NUMBER 76 ACADEMY and Private Colors Beauty & Makeup Academy for being part of the wonderful evening and to The Federal Kuala Lumpur for hosting us in such a historical space.

This is for the stories we inherit, the ones we carry, and the ones we continue to create.

This Malaysia Day, we look back so we can move forward together. At The Living History Project, we believe heritage is meant to be lived.

This year at TLHP Impact Fest 2026, we brought history and heritage to life by honouring our Orang Asli communities and their craftsmanship at the Orang Asli Exhibition, listening to the unspoken, raw tales of our living legends at Meet The Profile, stepping back into the golden era of Malaya at Pasar Malaya 2.0, and celebrating the grace, identity, and evolution of baju kebaya at Kenangan Kebaya.

Our history is a beautiful story to remember. Selamat Hari Malaysia, fellow Malaysians.
