In addition to celebrating the intellectual tradition of a past generation of Singaporean Malay thinkers, social and cultural activists, the Singapore Malays: Our Heritage and Legacy series provides unique insights and perspectives into the lived-experience and collective memories of the Malay community in Singapore. Written in Malay, Potret Puisi Melayu Singapura features the works of 44 Singapore Malay poets, from the post-independence era to the present, and shows how the historical context, community and the individuality of the poet have given poetry written by Singaporean Malay writers its own distinctive identity.
