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.

“This Is A Safe Space”.

These are words that I’ve heard different variants of time and time again, in different permutations and combinations across engagement sessions and times – and I think it is fascinating how they take their effect and how we may create that safe space for others even as we receive it […]

Capability.

It’s another one of those little occasions where I feel compelled to write down something; I suppose it would be different if I were committed, heart, soul, mind, and body towards the writing enterprise, but I admit that I am not there yet – but this morning, during this rare […]

You Can Never Step In The Same Stream Twice.

Fun quote? I agree. The little patchwork-mind-lizard-brain network inside my head revealed this simple phrase to me in the morning. Somehow or another, it retrieved this quote from the depths – and that act of retrieval, I suppose, redounds to the truth of the statement. When Heraclitus wrote these words… […]

What Are You Willing To Suffer For?

It hit me this morning that as human beings, we are suffering creatures. After all, suffering is basically written into the very code of all existence; to exist itself is to go against entropy, to summon together the forces of energy against decay, life against death – to work to […]

On Beatmatching

One of my current obsessions is learning beatmatching – it is a skill that DJs must have, such that the result of using that skill is that you get two different songs playing at the same beats per minute, in phase (the beats hit at the right time), in phrase, […]

Curse of Knowledge

I’ve been watching a range of language podcasts featuring David Perrell and also this other guy named William Fitzpatrick, and their conversations have been pretty interesting and sound; I’m not sure why this started, but I suppose there’s an internal part of me that is unconsciously trying to level up […]
