This book, Retracing History: From Bukit Siguntang to the Riau Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula, is a captivating read for history enthusiasts and Malay heritage scholars alike—including Gen Z and Millennials. Written in an accessible yet academically rigorous style, it presents a compelling narrative without compromising its scholarly essence.

The book explores the historical journey of the Malay civilization, tracing its origins from Bukit Siguntang Mahameru to the Riau Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula. It delves into the legendary figure of Raja Iskandar Zulkarnain—navigating between myth and historical fact—within the grand narrative of Malay history.

According to tradition, Sang Sapurba, a direct descendant of Iskandar Zulkarnain, descended from Bukit Siguntang in Palembang and arrived in the Kingdom of Bentan in the Riau Archipelago. His son, Sang Nila Utama, later emerged as a pivotal figure, laying the foundations for the lineage of Malay rulers who would govern the Riau Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula. ~
