Pasar Malam Kita, Cerita Kita

Meet the unsung heroes keeping your local pasar malam alive! Malaysia's famous pasar malams might seem to magically appear every week, but behind all of it are the people who faithfully show up, rain or shine, to make sure it all comes together.  Pasar Malam Kita is a new series to remind Malaysians just how important pasar malams are not just to our culture, but to the livelihoods of so many communities. Sadly, visitor numbers have dropped since Covid-19, leaving many pasar malam vendors struggling. Visit your local pasar malam this week to help keep this beautiful Malaysian culture alive — and tag us on social media with the hashtag #PasarMalamKita!  Is there a local pasar malam or vendor we should cover next? Let us know in the comments! A project by @khazanahresearchinstitute557 x @TheFourth
