In this edition of A Bit of Culture, we have BFMer Julian Yap and historian Netusha Naidu together with our host, Kam Raslan exploring the ideals of education in varying degrees. Starting off with recounting their respective experiences in tertiary education, they wrap up by sharing their thoughts on the purpose of education. But what's A Bit of Culture without a topic on films? With the number of film reboots out there in the wild, our cultural trident also touch on the subject of legacy films and its values to the big screen.
