Somewhere Over The Bianglala

This week our cultured trio are back with three riveting topics from the world of the arts and pop culture. On the panel is PUSAKA's Pauline Fan, who is in her midst of translating poems from Borneo for an upcoming book, discusses the myriad languages from the multi ethnic provinces of Sarawak. Actor Vernon Adrian Emuang reflects on New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's wonderful gesture on donning the hijab in solidarity with the country's Muslim community. And finally Kam takes us through a list of "Things You Thought Were Malaysian, But Are Not".
