This publication explores the many spheres that heritage encompasses - from lifestyle and fashion to finance and investment; personalities and company profiles to food and restaurants; health and healing to tours and special events; and history - all from an Asian and a Malaysian perspective. It seeks to show the enduring richness of the past, its relevance today, and its meaning for the future. In short, Heritage Asia responds to broad areas of interest among a discerning reading public.

In this age of an increasingly borderless world where global influences are blurring distinctive cultural identities, it is imperative that we rediscover, preserve, and celebrate our region’s cultural roots. These precious legacies are an essential part our identities. They are treasures to be valued and to be appreciated by generations to come. Already, there is an emerging consciousness of the importance of retrieving and recording this heritage of Asia.

Heritage Asia is a richly illustrated and attractively presented magazine with articles on Asian heritage written with authority by distinguished authors. By keeping to high standards of historical research while maintaining its popular style of writing, Heritage Asia stands at the doorstep of the new affluent Asian reading public made up of cosmopolitan, educated professionals in varied fields of work but all having in common the emergent affinity to culture, tradition and heritage. Now preparing its sixth issue, there is undoubtedly a wide and viable readership.

The idea of starting a magazine called Heritage Asia was mooted by a number of heritage enthusiasts and this was further developed at “The Penang Story” conference in 2002 in Penang. It was felt by many that a popular-style magazine was needed to bring subjects of heritage interest to a wider audience. At the same time the magazine could be a medium for heritage societies to publicise their events.

Since then all five issues of Heritage Asia have been very well received. The President of the Singapore Heritage Society was sufficiently impressed as to send in subscriptions for all his members. Heritage Asia has successfully secured the partnership of Malaysia Airlines, Starbucks, The Tourism Board of Malaysia, and numerous clubs and hotels.
