Researcher/Journalist Aziff Azuddin - Malay Youths Can Co-Exist With Chinese, But Islam Must Reign

The Malay youth were pivotal in Malaysia’s last elections and will only grow in importance in the future thanks to the current state of demographics. Yet do we really know how they think? What drives them, keeps them awake at night, inspires them? 

Aziff’s research is a good start in dismantling the silos that Malaysian society has fallen into, a state that has been amplified on and preyed upon by corrupt politicians.

Movie Producers Rachel Tan & Dan Mark - How Chinese Conquer Racism, Prejudice in Hollywood, USA

Is it a case of ‘from the frying pan into the fire’? Rachel Tan, a Malaysian ex-beauty queen, lawyer and model and her husband Dan Mark, also a lawyer of Chinese origin, found themselves in America well over a decade ago, after having left their respective homelands to escape racism and prejudice .. only to find America as racist and prejudiced as their own homelands. 

However, the question at hand is whether America, whose own success was largely borne from immigrants, is still the land of opportunity. Especially when the industry in question is Entertainment, notoriously one of the most competitive and difficult to conquer. 

Some facts to ponder (extracted from King Street Pictures’ website): 

- According to the MPAA, Asians had the highest rate of moviegoing among all ethnic groups in the U.S. in 2016. 

Who will tell these stories if we do not?

Political Analysts & Academics Fui K Soong & Rita Sim - China Won’t Protect Malaysia’s Chinese 

An eye-opening conversation that sought to begin with an exploration of the non-homogenous nature of Malaysia’s Chinese (not all Chinese are the same!!) that morphed into the much more important discussion of Malaysia’s position in a world of multiple superpowers and how we need to deal with the changing world order.

Eddin Khoo is a journalist, historian, author and poet. But perhaps his biggest contribution to society is his tireless work in protecting Malaysia’s traditional performing arts like the Wayang Kulit and Mak Yong, through his cultural organisation, Pusaka. 

He rightly points out that Malaysia is a cosmopolis of races, cultures and traditions with a history older than most countries in the region. 

But its importance has been systematically erased in the interests of political self-preservation. 

This is his story, in his own words.
