This week the ABOC team tackles the topics of the return of KL to the spotlight of Malaysian representation, the dynamic of homosocial relationships between public figures and social media political commentaries. Kam observes the urban/rural divide between Kuala Lumpur to the rest of the country in light of the recent election period. Ann analyzes the impetuous homosocial relationship between Anwar Ibrahim and Tun Dr Mahathir in the past, present and future. Eddin expresses his distaste for staunch supporters of the opposition taking to social media to spew their inflexible support for the party online.
