Examining Malaysian youth’s responses to wokeness through the lens of Tang Ping (躺平)
Youth plays a crucial role in shaping Malaysia's future, yet their identities are increasingly moulded by digital globalisation that transcends physical borders. This study investigates how Malaysian youth navigate the influx of foreign ideologies, specifically Western ‘Wokeness’ and the Eastern ‘Tang Ping’ (lying flat) movement, primarily through engagement with global social media and cross-border digital discourse. By examining eight winning s…
Wokeness As a Reaction to Power Dynamics in Malaysian Workplaces
The term “wokeness” can be understood as an individual’s awareness of social justice issues and a commitment to promoting equality and fairness in society. Traditionally, wokeness is linked to being tools of highlighting unfairness and discrimination in different social settings. This study argues wokeness can also be examined as a reactionary tool to power dynamics in a workplace setting. This study specifically examines the topic of power dynam…
Heteropatriarchy, Archetypes and Stereotypes
Gambling in Malaysia is frowned upon due to its potentially harmful effects on society. Nevertheless, the same industry also generates income through taxes. Most Malaysian lottery companies still resort to various methods to remain relevant. Past research indicates how Malaysian lottery companies rely on supporting charitable deeds and metaphors to promote their positive images.

Unspoken Thresholds
In the context of architecture, spatiality signifies dichotomies of interior and exterior, domestic or private and public or social domains, which are socially and psychologically meaningful. In a similar thread, spatiality within the literary context draws on elements that create boundaries between internal and external spaces within a text. This paper delves into the interior and exterior spaces presented by Zoya Pirzad in Things We Left Unsaid…
The Formation of a Malay Child’s Identity through Adat, Akhlak, and Budi
The locations around us are not merely the mundane settings for our routine life stories; through meaningful interaction with the places that we are in, our thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be drastically shifted. This resonates with the psychogeographical aspect of examining people’s interaction with their surroundings that lead to personal attachments and a myriad of emotions. Lat’s Kampung Boy (1979) is an autobiographical graphic novel…

Rerouting The Worlding of Inter-Ethnic Estrangement Through Critical Solace
Navigating Sri Lankan Identity in A State of Crisis
Sri Lanka is often thought of as a nation that has been in a constant state of crisis since the start of its civil war in 1983. However, with the passing of time and various government efforts, there have been attempts to heal the tears in the social fabric. Some of these attempts can be seen in the creation of the National Policy on Reconciliation and Co-Existence, of 2017 as well as the establishment of the Office of National Unity and Reconcil…

Re-engaging Sri Lanka as a site for reconciliation or a perpetuation of trauma
Memory and home are often at the core of transnational diasporic writings. Transnational Sri Lankan writers are no exception as one often finds that the homeland of Sri Lanka is often the site for memories that jostle between spaces that are both pleasant and traumatic. This paper focuses on the ways in which Brixton Beach, a novel by transnational writer Roma Tearne, explores the intricacies of the Sri Lankan relationship amongst family members …
