Malaysia Baru, Seni Baru

On this episode of A Bit of Culture, we take a look at the place of women in film, how our criticism of government should not change, and why a watchdog for the arts scene is important in New Malaysia. Kam ponders on whether the roles of women have progressed since the last millenia, comparing the roles between then and now. Uma ruminates on the writing of Christian apologetic GK Chesterton and the train of thought on being critical of governments, even if the status quo has changed in light of Malaysia Baru. And speaking of Malaysia Baru, Shamaine expands upon last episode’s discussion on the importance of an arts council, especially to regulate freedom and censorship in local media.
