You might want to make you way down to Singapore for a short while when in
Malaysia.  There are the Singapore History Museum and the Asian Civilisation
Museum in the city.  The majority of the population of Singapore can trace
their roots to an immigrant past, but most of the younger generation
consider themselves to be 'native' to the place now, having been born and
brought up on the island country.  The term 'native' has become a rather
slippery term.

I do not have the full list of contacts of people in the museums with me
now, as I am studying for my MA in Easel Paintings Conservation in
Newcastle, UK.  But you might want to check their web-site www.nhb.gov.sg
for possible contacts if you're interested in visiting.  If you need help in
obtaining more information on the museums, you can contact me off-list.
