Proposal

Topic Background:

Datuk Mohammad Nor Khalid, better known as Lat, is a Malaysian cartoonist who has produced cartoons over a span of years. His honest humor, witty portrayals of the Malaysian life and cleverly written political satire has appealed to many people regardless of races and culture. Lat is also very passionate about Malaysian cartoons having their own identity and style; keeping and preserving the touch of the local culture.

Nowadays, such works of high caliber is hard to come by. For example, we often come across works that attempted to emulate the kampong setting, but were superficial when it comes to the local content. In addition, today’s young cartoonists are more into foreign works such as from Japan (manga) and western style comic books (like Marvel and DC).

Objective:

Presenting ways to preserve the works of Datuk Lat for future generations as well as to encourage young cartoonists to emulate the works of Lat in preserving the local culture.

Suggested Output:

• ·       Digital Preservation
• ·       Documentation
