GENERAL IPOH, April 21 (Bernama) -- Several pieces of clothing belonging to the legendary singer, the late Datuk M. Daud Kilau, are among the 2,000 items collected and will undergo digitisation by the Perak Music Archives which was established through the People of Remarkable Talent (PORT) since 2022. Perak Education, Youth and Sports Committee chairman Khairudin Abu Hanipah said this effort is hoped to become a reference source for the community, especially for cultural researchers and art students. He said the state government aims to launch the archives' website in July this year.
