Not many know that Liverpool is rich with Malaysian history ๐ฒ๐พ๐ฌ๐ง. These are the main things you should know:
Part 1: On 7 Feb 1956, Tunku Abdul Rahman made the first announcement of Malayaโs impending independence at the Kirkby College, Liverpool, where Malaya had sent a big number of students to be trained as teachers.
Part 2: Arrival of Malaysians in the UK as Seafarers in Liverpool.
Part 3: The Liverpool Malaysian House (Rumah Malaysia Liverpool) - No. 7 Jermyn Street L8 2XA.
The Liverpool Malaysian Society is helping to spread awareness, fundraise and conduct a donation drive to rebuild the historical Rumah Malaysia Liverpool. In the last page of the post you can find bank details should you like to donate and contribute in the rebuilding of the No.7 Jermyn Street L8 2XA, Liverpool Malaysian House.
These are the hidden gems that should be acknowledged and appreciated. Malaysians as well as its history can be found in nearly every part of the world ๐, but Liverpool is one of the first place where Malaysians reached a foreign land.
