Natasha Kraal is a name who carries so much weight in our fashion industry, it is hard to consider a new designer piece without the consideration and sound advice from arguably Malaysia’s #1 fashion opinionator. Natasha has a slew of writers under her belt at any given time of day but when the pen is left alone, she can do a valiant effort in judging as she was featured as guest editor for Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2.

There will be roadshows in multiple shopping malls nationwide throughout October (12th, 13th, 27th and 28th).

On October 6th 1949, Iva Toguri was sentenced in San Francisco to 10 years imprisonment and fined $10,000 for treason. At the time she was probably the most famous female broadcaster in America. During the war, Iva had refused to renounce her U.S citizenship and was put into a radio program that broadcast transcripts written for her to Allied troops stationed in the pacific. Iva was a victim and labeled "Tokyo Rose" by a U.S. news correspondent after the war had ended. She was tried for treason, falsely found guilty, and stripped of her U.S. citizenship. This month, on Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah Dunia, Umapagan Ampikaipakan tells of true story of the agony Iva Toguri suffered during a time that America was fighting a war on two fronts.

Tonight we have a young, bold local illustrator who isn’t shy of being in the forefront to raise questions on topics which we think are sensitive and might even been taboo in our culture. Her name is Engku Iman and she’s one of the rising stars of Malaysia’s contemporary art scene.

Engku Iman started off with a diploma in architecture from Taylor’s College. She had a fallout of interest from it but she learnt the styles of multiple artists during her college days. She saw them and knew that was what she wanted to do. Iman is not a classically-trained artist but she copes with the lack of technicality with her strong sense of cynical humour and satire.

Iman travels around Asia to learn about the different cultures and art forms created. She honed into Indonesia as her favourite location as she always returns with new images of a much more mature art scene and new lessons for her to apply to her work. She also cites Ai Weiwei, Jean Michel Basquiat and also skateboarders due to their determination in the park as her inspirations.

Iman was one of the artists featured during  earlier this year Her work, it was a  with abusive words sewn inside. Taken from an imam to his wife. After Iman’s work was complete, the wife got the courage to file a divorce noting Iman changed her life. Iman will be having an artshow in Penang later in November.My Story My Strength: Doodle For A Change. Karya Yang Melindungitelekung

For the record, Iman scored 17!

Over the next few weeks of this special series on migrant labour, we will be exploring the topic from the perspective of policy and economics; taking you through the forgotten history of a landmark court case, and delving into the specific challenges faced by domestic workers. This week we speak to NGO workers about how contradicting policies, overlapping agency jurisdictions, and loopholes in the law mean that despite rights being codified in international and domestic law, in reality these often merely a ‘rights “illusion’.
