What is Intipati?

What is Intipati?

Intipati is the heart of Naskhah, a starting point for building a living repository of Malay culture and its ecosystem. It is a space where the richness of Malay heritage is documented, explored, and celebrated—an effort to ensure that the stories, values, and traditions of the Malay world are not just remembered but serve as a guide for the present and future.

Many of us today feel disconnected from our cultural roots, and the reasons are clear. Over time, we have forgotten our traditions, not because they are unimportant, but because we have stopped producing content about them. Without regular engagement, our awareness fades, and with it, the love for our culture.

This is why Intipati exists: to rekindle that connection. By first knowing our culture, we can develop an appreciation for its depth and beauty. When we love our culture, it naturally becomes a part of how we live our lives. This progression—know culture, love culture, live culture—is the guiding philosophy of Intipati.

Through this initiative, Naskhah aspires to create a foundation that not only educates but also inspires. By presenting a comprehensive and accessible reference point, Intipati encourages readers to embrace their heritage and contribute to its growth. In doing so, we move closer to a future where Malay culture is not just preserved but actively lived and celebrated.

Join us in rediscovering the intipati—the essence—of who we are.
