Syazwan Majid: “We will never be able to understand fully how it is like to live in a kampung, to work hard for your food, to forage for this food. The tedious nature needed to keep our day going, that itself contradicts the notion that we are a lazy people. This narrative that paints the Malays as lazy native is really just not true. If we were really that lazy, we would have all starved to death – we would not have been working in the fields, we would not be fishing out at sea for days at certain times just to make sure that we are able to provide food and shelter for our children. How on earth is that a sense of laziness of the natives?”
Majid, founder of Wan’s Ubin Journal, shares about his journey of connecting with his islander identity, plus: *Pulau Ubin being more than a place of recreation* *Kampungs as more than symbols of third world status* *Cultivating kampung spirit in Singapore* *Foraging on Pulau Ubin* *How we can support the islanders of Singapore*
