Shining a light on our history

Enhance public education: Khoo says there is a lack of strong historical basis and awareness in our society and this needs to change.

AN imaginative approach in sharing the country’s rich and diverse history is needed if we are to inculcate deeper understanding and appreciation of our nation.

Eddin Khoo, a writer, cultural researcher, and son of eminent historian the late Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Datuk Dr Khoo Kay Kim, believes that enhancing public education – especially in history and culture – can help create a stronger Malaysian identity.
