With a presence spanning across two centuries, this little-known but truly Malaysian community
eventually vanished, but traces remain!

With prose by Zayn Gregory accessible even to goys of all ages, and beautiful illustrations by Arif
Rafhan, The Last Jews of Penang brings to life a poignant moment in Malaysia’s rich multicultural
history.

Available internationally through GerakBudaya!
