In the second session of the Wacana Warisan Series (WWS) webinar, Dr Azhar Ibrahim talked about the Jawi Script: Witness and Living Legacy to Our History. He shared that Jawi script is the Malay community identity and had played a very significant role in civilization and knowledge in the spread of Islamic knowledge in the ASEAN region. According to Dr Azhar, without the mastery in Jawi writing, this will eventually lead the Malays in breaking away from understanding the history around the Archipelago, especially during the early arrival of Islam. This is because for over 700 years, Jawi is used in the field or domain of Malay language, culture, literature, arts, religion, government and intellectual capacity. This video is the first part of WWS #02.
