10: Pulau Semakau, more than a landfill | Firdaus Sani, founder of Orang Laut Sg

Firdaus Sani: “In the name of progress, we have lost so much. We have lost the character of Singapore and the narrative seems to be so pro-progress that we shun away the real stories of Singaporeans.” Sani, founder of Orang Laut Sg, joins Singapore Noodles founder Pamelia Chia to share about his life on Pulau Semakau, plus: *The relationship between the Orang Lauts and the sea* *His family’s transition from life on the island to life in the city* *Defining traits of Orang Laut cuisine* *How Firdaus’ family cooks classic Malay dishes differently* *What has been lost in the name of progress in Singapore* To contact Pamelia with comments, questions, or speaker ideas, please email pameliaccq@gmail.com.
