BFM :: Shelah Talks

Disaster strikes Shelah this week. Why cry a river when your house is already flooded? She tries to fix her feet to the heart of the issue, while watching her sofa float around the living room. 

Not pink enough? Shelah gets her knickers in an existential twist for not being allowed on the pink Teksi Wanita. She rants in a kopitiam, gets her bill at last and wonders where's her change. 

Shelah gets up close and personal with Marina Mahathir as they go back to her humble beginnings as a writer, her activism works and a review of the year that was.  

Shelah takes her hat off to the Malaysian fashion industry and dons a conservationist cap to tell us why we should pitch in to save the declining population of elephants in the region.  

We travel around the country, the region and then the world as our dose of Shelah Talks freaks out about the Euro and takes a swipe at headlines all over.

Back from a European excursion, Shelah returns ready to do battle, as she comes to the horrifying conclusion that some people think she’s a national security threat. Has anybody done a head count of drag queens among the planet’s 7 billion inhabitants? And guess who is planning to organise them!

It’s the time of the month again, and Shelah hosts activist Ivy Josiah who tells us that you can make a difference by going ‘mad’. In one of those rare moments the stiletto is on the other foot, when the Women’s Aid Organisation director grabs the limelight from our queen of satire.  

High Priestess Shelah first channels the late Steve Jobs, then the PM - making Budget adjustments - and lastly blesses pets and other animals, talks of sacrificial lambs - all before flying off to Espana. 

From financial mentor one week, a wellness advisor the next. Shelah gives us a check list on the vitamins that we lack and ought to have to increase our chances of coping in this town.
