Cultural Awareness, Education & Understanding

Malaysians belong to uncountable cultures and traditions. That is just how different and diverse we are as a nation. We believe to work in ways to bring love and understanding through through art, documentary or short films for our future generations.

UNITING MALAYSIANS

THROUGH FOOD

PHASE 1

PHASE 2

On the first day of 2016,

we slowly revealed 60 artworks to convey the Malaysian message across that many of us are truly

'Hungry for a Better Malaysia'.

CHAPTER 3:

#ROJAKNATION

(HAPPENING NOW)

#RojakNation, a new movement by The Rojak Projek that advocates Malaysia's multicultural identity and seeks to bring together everything that makes Malaysia, Malaysia.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
WITH DR RENARD SIEW

Single-use plastics for food packaging has filled our landfills to the brim. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s about time we start making a difference. Discover what Malaysians are doing in our own backyard. The Rojak Projek is in collaboration with Dr Renard Siew to spark the #sustainablepackaging revolution in our Malaysian society.

#ROJAKNATION x

#ORANGASLI

The forests means everything to the Orang Asli community. It is more than just a source of food, water, a place to live, a wellspring for income and to some a spiritual sanctuary...

LIST OF ETHNICITY WE FOUND IN MALAYSIA

(2019)

If we can name three races in Malaysia, why can’t we name them all (including those who are of mixed race)? We believe it is time for our generation to take it to the next level in rediscovering and getting to know our Malaysian people better.
