Description

W. W. Skeat is remembered for his major contributions to the study of Malayan ethnography, particularly through his detailed observations of local customs, beliefs, and social structures. His work combined careful field research with a deep respect for Malay culture, helping to document traditions that were often overlooked by colonial authorities. Skeat’s legacy lies in how he shaped early understandings of Malayan society through a scholarly yet appreciative lens.
