The Photos of Roslan Rahman

Roslan Rahman is a young photojournalist (26 years), based in Kuala Lumpur and interested to understand, through his photography, what is it about his country and his region: not easy task - a region full of contrasts, offering in each moment a different synthesis. It's Islam, and modernity, and effort to integrate in the Western values, and pride in conserving traditions, and sudden bursts of violence, a success story, and huge poverty; it is a mix of cultures, Islamic, Chinese, Indian (by the way, here are the languages Roslan Rahman is speaking: English, Bahasa Malay/Indonesian, Hokkien with a little bit of Mandarin, French, Tamil, Arabic).
