Kami Orang Sini Juga is a new mini-series in collaboration with IMAN Research. 

This series explores how young Malaysian Indians and Chinese understand identity, belonging, and their place in Malaysia today. It builds on IMAN’s earlier project, Orang Kita, which focused on Malay Muslim youth.

In this first episode, we provide an overview of the diversity within the Malaysian Indian community and how language and class shape how Indians relate to one another and to other communities. 

In this episode, we speak to Shaleen Surendra, Researcher, IMAN Research. 

And if you missed it, we previously covered IMAN’s Orang Kita project on Malay-Muslim youth. Here is the list of episodes -
