Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia is proud to share the collective impact of our recent workshops held in conjunction with Ukraine’s Cultural Diplomacy Month 2026. This year, our efforts spanned across both higher education and secondary school levels, reinforcing our commitment to bridging cultural gaps through open knowledge. Bridging Cultures in Cyberjaya On 23 April 2026, we returned to City University Malaysia, Cyberjaya, for our fourth consecutive year of collaboration. Our facilitators guided a diverse group of international students in translating 44 articles about Ukrainian heritage, cities, and prominent figures into seven languages, including Malay, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Bulgarian, and Spanish. Local Voices from Sandakan The initiative also reached East Malaysia, where students from SMK Sandakan took part in a dedicated edit-a-thon. These young editors focused on making Ukrainian culture accessible to local audiences by creating and translating 22 articles into Malay and other local languages. A Collaborative Success The Embassy of Ukraine in Malaysia has expressed its sincere appreciation to our coordinator, Mr. Mohd Taufik Rosman, for his leadership in mobilizing the SMK Sandakan students. As a gesture of gratitude, participants were treated to #Roshen products, celebrating a successful exchange of knowledge and culture. We are honored to see these 66 new articles added to the global encyclopedia and look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership next year.  Photo courtesy of Ukraine Embassy in Malaysia.

Diplomasi Digital: Mahasiswa Universiti Malaya dan Jepun "Ganding Bahu" Perkasakan Wikipedia5/2/2026  Sempena Bulan Asia Wikipedia tahun lalu, kami telah menganjurkan sebuah bengkel Wikimedia kepada mahasiswa Universiti Malaya (UM) pada 19 Disember 2025.
Dalam bengkel tersebut, kami mendedahkan cara menyunting di laman ensiklopedia bebas, Wikipedia dan memasukkan perkataan ke kamus bebas dalam talian, Wikikamus (Wiktionary). Bengkel turut dijalankan secara serentak bersama rakan-rakan Wikimedia di Jepun, sempena jalinan Persahabatan Wikimedia Jepun-Malaysia. Pada acara ini, Dr. Woo Wai Sheng dari Jabatan Bahasa-Bahasa Asia dan Eropah, Fakulti Bahasa dan Linguistik UM juga berkesempatan menyampaikan ucapan alu-aluan. Acara ini turut mendapat sokongan Kedutaan Besar Jepun di Malaysia dan Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di Jepun ini, dan telah berjaya menghasilkan 10 rencana baharu di Wikipedia dan memasukkan 391 perkataan bahasa Jepun ke Wikikamus. Wikimedia Malaysia amat berbesar hati dengan kerjasama ini. Semoga dapat bersama-sama menyumbang pengetahuan untuk semua.  Pada 4 Jun 2025, Kumpulan Komuniti Pengguna Wikimedia Malaysia (Wikimedia Malaysia) telah menganjurkan WikiKata Bahasa Tamil buat julung kalinya, bertempat di Fakulti Bahasa dan Linguistik, Universiti Malaya.

Seramai 25 orang pelajar fakulti telah menyertai program ini, termasuk tujuh orang sukarelawan Wikimedia Malaysia. Penulis turut berkesempatan mengambil peluang menjadi sukarelawan Wikimedia yang telah membimbing pelajar-pelajar universiti. Baca lanjut ...

Baca lanjut ...  The ESEAP Conference 2024 will be the third regional conference for Wikimedia communities throughout the ESEAP region. ESEAP stands for East, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. The conference will take place in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia from the 10th to 12th of May, 2024. The conference aims to bring together the ESEAP movement for three days of meet ups, training, workshops, and discussions to further strengthen the collaborations between its community. ESEAP 2024 will aim to build on the momentum driven through the ESEAP Conference 2022 and Wikimania Singapore where the ESEAP Strategy Summit was also hosted. Through this blog we will unveil the logo and concept for this year’s conference, and the central theme to share the conference COT’s objective, vision and ambition behind the same. Conference Theme In order to celebrate the growth and commitment of the movement in the region and draw a connection between the theme of 2022 and the 2024 conference, the Core Organizing Committee (COT) has adopted Collaboration Beyond the Horizon as the central theme of the conference. The theme aims to celebrate the limitless possibilities that lie beyond our current boundaries of collaboration. In a world where innovation knows no bounds, this theme encourages attendees to look beyond familiar horizons and embrace new frontiers of cooperation. Whether it is forging partnerships across the movement, creative approaches to connect contributors across the region, or addressing present movement challenges through collective action, this conference serves as a platform to embark on a journey to expand the horizons of collaboration and unlock the full potential of collective action, movement impact and sustained growth.  Unveiling the logo of the ESEAP Conference 2024
The conference Logo is based on the Warriors Monument in Kota Kinabalu and is designed by Ahmad Ali Karim, who’s also the External Relations Ambassador and graphic designer for Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia. The monument was chosen for its unique design, yet mysterious and unsung background, with many people even in Malaysia not knowing of its existence. In fact, as ironic as it is, at the time this post was made, the monument does not even have its own Wikipedia article in English and Malay (as well as Kadazandusun Incubator). The logo takes great inspiration from the sky, linked to the central theme by presenting the horizon – the purple depicting sunset, dark blue being night, and the light blue resembling the day. The conference logo incorporates the dots seen in the actual monument, with 11 dots positioned in a strategic manner to represent the 11 nations that make up the formal communities under the ESEAP region; these dots also represent stars in the night sky. The merging of colors echoes the beautiful dynamics reminiscent of the gradual change of light during the day, symbolizing our united regional togetherness and collaborative attitude. This picture highlights even more how important it is to coordinate efforts and remain committed to advancing regional development. Over the course of the next few weeks the COT will share more information on our approach and thinking behind the conference. So stay tuned for more!
