Overview
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.

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.
