About MalayMondays

Hai!
MalayMondays began as a simple invitation: speak Malay on Mondays. What started as a small Instagram community has grown into a platform for connection — celebrating the beauty of colloquial Malay through stories, conversations, and now, physical installations. We believe that language lives not in textbooks, but in the voices of our elders and the curiosity of our youth. Welcome to MalayMondays.
Project: Speaking Selves
Speaking Selves is the flagship initiative of MalayMondays — a design-led project that brings the spirit of digital invitation into physical space. Through vintage telephone booths and postcard letterboxes, we create spaces where youth and elders connect through Malay. No apps. No notifications. Just conversation. Youth become Knowledge Seekers. Elders take their rightful place as Knowledge Keepers. One story, one postcard, one telephone call at a time.
