On this week’s A Bit of Culture, we delve into a country’s culture, language and attitude towards our day to day matters. After his visit in Japan, Uma discovers the genuine service from responsible members of the society and whether our country can reflect on this lifestyle. Kam wonders how easily one becomes triggered and the thoughts we go through to care for one’s feelings. Lastly, Eddin delves into the future and importance of Malay language that has impacted our education, politics and daily life.
