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 19^th 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.
