A lot has happened in the last week, and it feels really weird to be sitting here at the end of the weekend considering that I’ve actually done something that pretty much no non-Malay would ever do in creating this petition about education which also happens to touch on what happened with Heliza Helmi just the other day when she tried to advocate for Palestine to be brought into Malaysia’s education system, to which I immediately responded with a complete no, and that civil society has come along with me.

I’ve basically written an entire petition, and as of right now, it has 575 signatures – and by the time I finish this blog post, I guess it’ll increase again.

I think that the petition speaks for itself far more than I am likely to be able to say in the course of this blog post, and I hope that you will check it out here!

Thank you so much for your support, for your signatures, for sharing, and for everything else. If you are a journalist and you’d like to feature this as a story, please feel free to reach out to me via any of the forms of contact which I’ve specified in my other videos and in the petition itself. In any case, I look forward to the events of the upcoming weeks!

Yours,
Sepup.

Slapmania

One of the most fascinating sports I’ve ever seen in my life is the sport of professional slapping. My first exposure to this wonderful art, travesty, or disaster (whatever you like) came when I first saw Charles White Jr’s slapping playlist on YouTube. Ever since, I’ve watched the odd slap […]

Seeing Is Believing

It is likely that you have heard from an early age that “seeing is believing.”  As life goes on, it becomes clear that that advice is only partly effective. There are many things in this world that can be true even if we cannot see that they are true. That […]

The Value Of Time

I am writing this after contemplating Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks” and undertaking a full sequence of reading on the way to reading Homi K. Bhabha’s “The Location of Culture” upon Shahril Hamdan’s recommendation – incidentally, after failing to understand it and after complaining to Shahril, I realized that perhaps […]

Secretlab Atlas VS Titan Evo: A Review!

Got the SecretLab Atlas because I wanted to see what Secretlab’s task chair setup was like after having purchased 7 different Secretlab Titan chairs across time. Beyond vibe, which it does check (in a different way from the Titan), it is quite different from the Titan Evo in a few […]
