Our Native Land: Perak 10 mins
Habour of Lost Jewellery: Finding the Footprints of Hokkien Life
Our Native Land travelled to several towns and cities in Perak to find out the stories of the Hokkien people who settled here in Perak.
There is an important saying in the Hakka's ancestral motto, "It is better to sell the ancestors' land than to forget their advice". The Hakka tradition is to "farm in the mountains", which means that the fields in the mountains are important. But they would rather sell their ancestral fields than forget the advice their ancestors left them. On this episode, we will take you on a journey to the Hakka's general cemetery to trace the origin of the Hakka people and learn about the special characteristics of their distribution. We will also have a meal of zesty Hakka Leicha, Hakka Cai Kuih and stuffed tofu, savouring the Hakka people's heritage of spirit.
