Tentang Jurnal

Established in 1994 as Yayasan Budaya Melayu (Sarawak Melayu Cultural Foundation), the organization was registered in 2003 as Amanah Khairat Yayasan Budaya Melayu Sarawak (Sarawak Melayu Cultural Foundation Charitable Trusts) under the Sarawak Charitable Trust Ordinance. All ethnic groups in Sarawak were encouraged to form similar organizations as part of the government’s policy on cultural management in the state. In general, the foundation aims to promote and advance the culture of the Melayu of Sarawak in its widest sense. Hence, it involves the economy, politics, education, religion, arts, family, and youth of the community. It also sees the importance of networking with other Melayu and others in the Melayu Archipelago and the world.
