The National Library Board (NLB) just dropped the “Prominent Malays of Singapore” (PMoS) portal, a fresh digital space celebrating over 100 Malay trailblazers who’ve shaped Singapore’s story. From arts and sports to community and government, the portal gives you the lowdown on their achievements—all in English and Malay.

Packed with pics, videos, and interactive content, PMoS isn’t just about reading—it’s about experiencing history. Users can even pitch in by submitting info to help keep the portal updated, making it a community-driven celebration of culture.

To bring the stories offline, a roving exhibition will tour libraries across Singapore from October 2025 to March 2027. Dive in and explore the lives of these inspiring figures at https://go.gov.sg/nlb-Prominent Malays of Singapore portal
