歷史學家法里斯．艾哈麥德．努爾說：殖民主義現在仍然是無法擺脫的有害破壞因子。它將神話和刻板印象內化，以至於在殖民政權都已消失之後，它們仍然存在。他在這場演說中探討為什麼這些成見和說法一直存在（甚至更興盛）。他建議用跨領域的方法，來拒絕在文化上迷戀被浪漫化的歷史，並預防這種有害的懷舊之情延續過去被壓迫的歷史。

停止將殖民過往浪漫化

Colonial-era stereotypes and narratives still shape how Southeast Asians view themselves and their environment. Despite independence and the passage of time, images like the coconut tree and the orangutan fill tourist ads, and rural people are often mocked in media. These persistent ideas outlive colonial rule, influencing everything from identity to how nature is treated. True change calls for more than historical research; it requires a collective, multidisciplinary effort to rethink inherited myths.
