In this week of culture talk, we discuss three topics with two prominent guests, Dr. Ann Lee and Vernon Adrian Emuang. Kam steering the wheel with a statement on the role of a university. Is it merely societal standards, or is there more that could be done to attain its role? With that, Vernon Adrian Emuang then speaks on censorship tying in with a recent local film that was banned due to its provoking nature, where does abuse of power stand in this matter? Wrapping up the episode, Ann shed some light on Parlindoengan Loebis, a supposed doctor to practice in the Netherlands but ends up in a Nazi Concentration Camp.
