Introducing the Rakit Platform: A Hub for Malay Cultural Revival and Connectivity

Ikatan Corporation proudly presents the Rakit platform, an innovative digital hub designed to integrate a series of cultural initiatives. At its core, Rakit is a vision of interconnectedness—an embodiment of the spirit of Rangkaian (network) and Ikatan (bond). Together, these terms symbolize a network of relationships, commitment, and unity that reflect the mission of Ikatan Corp.

Rakit stands as the gateway to a multitude of projects, each dedicated to preserving, promoting, and nurturing Malay culture in contemporary society. Among these projects are:

• Naskhah: A digital magazine that delves into the nuances of Malay culture, identity, and history. It serves as a platform for exploring traditional values, modern developments, and the unique contributions of the Malay community in Singapore.
• Pustaka: An online cultural directory showcasing notable individuals and organizations within Malay culture. It serves as a resource for understanding the achievements, talents, and key figures who have contributed to the cultural landscape.
• Arkib: A comprehensive digital repository designed in a Wikipedia-style format, aiming to be an accessible resource for knowledge on Malay cultural history, language, and heritage.

Other initiatives under the Rakit platform will continue to expand and evolve, embodying the interconnected mission of building and fostering a strong, unified Malay identity.
