Imagine ancient batik patterns dancing across your smartphone screen or ink paintings leaping to life in a virtual gallery. 🖼️✨ At the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting, Wong Foon Meng, former president of Malaysia's Dewan Negara, made a compelling case: Cultural heritage isn’t just history—it’s the blueprint for tomorrow’s breakthroughs.
Wong spotlighted Malaysia’s fusion of tradition and tech, like digitally revitalized batik designs that Gen Z can’t get enough of. Meanwhile, China’s immersive reinterpretations of classical ink painting—think AR-powered scrolls—are redefining art for the TikTok era. 🎭📱
🌍 "Innovation doesn’t erase culture; it amplifies it," Wong declared. His message? From Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, preserving heritage isn’t about museums—it’s about remixing traditions to spark global connections. After all, who says algorithms and ancestors can’t be collaborators?
