About Me

Hi! I'm a 36-year-old Malaysian Chinese guy working with arts organisations to bring more arts education to Malaysian schools. I'm passionate about creativity and the arts as a means towards an open-minded, critical-thinking society, and I'm interested in discussions about empowering the marginalised and oppressed towards greater social equity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet up with travelers for interesting conversations and to show them what I know about the country I love.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read science fiction for fun but I'm also interested in reading post-colonial counter-narratives. Favourite book: "Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As an advocate for the arts, I facilitate workshops where students learn appreciation for the arts and heritage of Malaysia. In my work, I have brought traditional Malaysian performing artists to schools to perform Wayang Kulit and Mak Yong for the children to connect with their cultural and creative roots as Malaysians.
