MPPM · ORANGE ECONOMY PROGRAMME

Discover Malaysia through the people who keep its traditions alive

What gives the sompoton of Sabah its sound? How does a cook in Perlis turn rice batter into the fine, crisp strands of kuih karas? Behind each tradition is someone who can show you how it is done.

Projek Warna.my is an initiative of Majlis Pemerkasaan Perniagaan Malaysia (MPPM). Through our Orange Economy programme, we want more people to learn from Malaysian practitioners, buy their work and invite them to perform or teach.

LIVING HERITAGE, SHARED FORWARD

Projek Warna.my is an MPPM initiative that aims to connect Malaysian cultural practitioners with people who want to learn from them and support their work.

Explore how Malaysia’s Orange Economy can help practitioners earn income through performances, workshops, commissions and cultural documentation.

Discover six ideas for learning from practitioners, from hearing Sabah’s sompoton to playing congkak and documenting a maker’s craft.

Practitioners, schools, organisers and partners can introduce their work or propose a programme to the MPPM Secretariat.
