## Resource

When Nor Syazwan Abdul Majid performed the azan during his Malay Kampung Heritage Tour on Pulau Ubin, he never expected it would lead to a complaint and national headlines. The incident sparked a wave of criticism online, with some accusing him of “inciting religious tensions” or promoting religious conversion. While the backlash affected him, messages of support have kept him going. Yet behind the controversy lies a deeper story: Syazwan’s personal connection to Pulau Ubin and its disappearing heritage.
