Working with historians at Leicester University and the Dato Koyah Heritage Association in Penang, in the form of a mini comic we tell the story of a Georgetown shrine built for a man transported as a convict from India to Malaysia in the early 1800s.

This graphic novella integrates Clare Anderson's research on the shrine of Sayid Mustafa, a convict sent into forced labour in Penang by the British in the early 19th century, with Amy McKay's illustrations and historic and contemporary visual materials. It was designed and delivered in partnership with the community that looks after the "Makam Dato Koyah" today. In Penang, the Makam is a revered as a figure with extraordinary power, and this resource is designed to communicate historical knowledge about him to a broader public, across generations and in a culturally sensitive way.
