| Summary: | Ibrahim Yaacob’s 1941 Melihat Tanah Air is a futurist document of the nation. To him, the Malay Archipelago’s location then described as the east (dunia timur) holds the key to the Pacific Ocean and the world economy.
Ibrahim has managed to strategise and provide foresight for the Malays under colonial conditions before World War II. He repeatedly emphasized the significance of the Alam Melayu, especially Malaya to world power. Melihat Tanah Air is not a history book. It renders the past and the future as Ibrahim (1911-1979) saw it. |
