Culture; Appropriated and Exploited

It doesn’t get more cultural than this one right here! Kam Raslan is joined by Uma and Azmyl and our culture vultures blaze through three topics revolving around the world of pop culture. Troubadour Azmyl Yunor returns from the UK with interesting observations about the port city of Liverpool and its rich heritage in rock music, thanks mainly to The Fab Four. Uma walks out of the cinemas after watching Ghost In The Shell with some thoughts on the appropriation of ScarJo as a Japanese character and finally Kam dials it back to about 160 years ago to discuss the formation of Kuala Lumpur and its cultural diversities.
