About This Project
Ramadhan 1431 Hijrah
Amir Muhammad reads the oldest version of the canonical text called Sulalat us-Salatin (Genealogy of Sultans) — which later came to be better-known as Sejarah Melayu (The Malay Annals). This text dates back to 1612 and contains 31 chapters. The Romanised version was done by colonial scholar R.O. Windstet and published by the Royal Asiatic Society in 1938; it was corrected and updated (with new spelling) by Abdul Rahman Hj Ismail in 1995. -
