Elegant and quietly powerful, Hajjah Khadijah remembers life in Selat Sengkir — the barracks, the wells, the quiet strength of women. Her wedding, the first to feature a Western-style gown, still echoes in the memories of the islanders.
Pulau Brani was once home to vibrant kampongs, football fields, open-air cinemas, and a community bound by sea and song. This eBook gathers first-hand memories, photographs, and stories from islanders who lived through its celebrations, struggles, and resettlement.
