About the Project
The Project's Objectives
- To maintain a register of all Dutch Descendants in Malaysia.
- To bring all Malaysian Dutch Descendants together as a community, to reconnect with each other and the lost Dutch heritage.
- To help the Malaysian Dutch Descendants gain an identity that would be recognised locally and internationally as part of the unique Malaysian Eurasian community.
- To trace the community's history and to develop and attempt to rejuvenate the Malaysian Dutch Descendant's heritage and culture before it fades totally into oblivion.
- To work together with cultural organisations in The Netherlands and other such Dutch organisations around the world for the recognition and development of the Malaysian Dutch Descendants community.
