Research by Leiden University on the Malaysian Dutch descendants will continue in 2011!
History of the Dutch in Malaysia tells a comprehensive and never before narrated story about the history of the Dutch in Malaysia.

The Malaysian Dutch Descendants Project website is dedicated to the minority and forgotten community of Dutch descendants living in Malaysia. We kindly invite you to join us on a journey of discovery and find out everything there is to know about our community, learn about our rich historical past and delight in our unique and unrivalled heritage.
The first ever scientific research into the community of Dutch Descendants in Malaysia by Leiden University in the Netherlands will commence in June. This research is supported by the MDDP and the Netherlands-Malaysia Association (VNM). We request the support and participation of all Dutch Malaysians. [20100301/20100505]
We are proud to announce that our website has been re-designed to make it more accessible, useful and closer to your needs. In conjunction with the re-launch of our site we have also ventured onto Facebook. With 'The Malaysian Dutch Descendants Project' group we wish to provide an interactive platform further uniting the Malaysian Dutch descendants and those who generously support their cause.
