If its bright, colourful and floral, it's from Malayan East coast. If it has earthy and dark colours, its Javanese. See how I avoid national borders? Very mindful.

2022 might be the first time that Singapore and Malaysia have two differing dates for Hari Raya. Also note the differing authority: Malaysia's Hari Raya is traditionally announced by the Keeper of the Royal Seal. In Singapore, it's the Mufti of Singapore.

Just a throwback to the last time a Yang di-Pertuan Agong took a train to central KL for his investiture.
Police will temporarily close 14 roads in Kuala Lumpur this Saturday for the installation of Sultan Ibrahim as the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The roads will be closed from 8am to 8pm to make way for guests attending the coronation ceremony and related events.

If there's only an example where an abandoned heritage site was turned with some Malaysian help into commercial space.
(Might be an) unpopular opinion: I wouldn't mind the Sultan Abdul Samad building be turned into a boutique or flagship store for a large company. Like an Apple store or something. As long as the facade remains intact and maintenance is done by the company itself

P Ramlee and the Malay film studio era is emblematic and a high point of a common Malayan culture that existed from Perlis all the way to Singapore. Singapore needs to reclaim its Malayaness if we want to also reinforce what it is to be Singaporean.
Nothing makes me sadder that Malaysia and Singapore are two separate countries than realizing that P Ramlee's peak movies were filmed in Singapore but in context is relatable to Malaysia too.
