馬來西亞雪蘭莪金門會館的社會功能及其變遷

Abstract

雪蘭莪金門會館位於馬來西亞雪蘭莪州巴生。雪蘭莪州是馬來西亞人口最多、經濟發展最迅速和國內生產總值最高的州屬。巴生是雪蘭莪州的發源地，也是馬來西亞最古老的城市之一。巴生有「皇城」之美譽，雪蘭莪州蘇丹的阿南莎皇宮便設在巴生。同時，巴生還有多間華文學校，以及宗鄉團體、神廟組織百花齊放，素有「雪州華人文化城」之稱。雪蘭莪巴生一帶也是馬來西亞最多金門人聚集之處，雪蘭莪金門會館是馬來西亞最早設立的金門人會館，從1946年成立至今，在地方教育、文化和公益慈善上有積極表現。本研究嘗試分析了雪蘭莪金門會館在不同時期的發展，探討會館在隨著時代變遷過程中的角色和功能，了解會館對於社會之貢獻與意義。縱觀會館七十幾年的發展歷程，雖在組織結構等形式上有諸多變化與革新，其本質功能與會館的服務精神在發展過程中仍保持著連續的傳承，並有逐漸發揚光大之趨勢。另外，本文亦討論了雪蘭莪金門會館和原鄉金門之間，如何透過溝通交流網絡，建立密切情誼聯繫。金門作為臺灣唯一的僑鄉，而會館作為推動當地與原鄉金門交流的橋樑角色，強化了臺灣與馬來西亞的關係。Selangor Kim Mooi Association located at Klang, a royal town in the state of Selangor , Malaysia.
