In full realisation of its constraints and limitations, PENYAYANG will only focus on identified facets of Malaysian culture, ads and heritage at any one time. However, at the same time PENYAYANG will try to support other initiatives at promoting Malaysian culture, arts and heritage in ways which are within its capacity.
