Born in Malaysia: A Photographer’s Journey by Kenny Loh

In 2010, Kenny Loh came back to Malaysia after almost two decades and found that so much has changed. Everything was different and new. With camera and notebook in hand, he set out to rediscover the land of his birth. Born in Malaysia is the result of this three-year journey.

The book highlights a Malaysia in transition. Many of the traditional crafts and businesses that once drove the local economy had entered their twilight. It celebrates the individuals from all walks of life who have played their part in bulding this nation.

Born in Malaysia also looks at those born after Independence. Their stories are important counterpoints to the stories of the Malaysian elders, as they provide the view of the future.
