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.

Consciousness x Writing Experiment

NB: This was the result of a small experiment on writing and consciousness. It is the result of my pondering aimlessly on a page and then pretty much just letting instinct take me to the end of the page. If it sounds incoherent, that’s possibly unsurprising. If it does sound […]

On Gaslighting Myself

You might notice that I’ve been writing a lot more recently. I don’t know if this is going to continue, but if it does, I think it is the consequence of an interesting new activity that I take part in: gaslighting myself.  Let me give you an example. If you […]

On cognitive switching

One of the things that we discover throughout the course of life is that there’s a distinct difference between thinking that you are being productive or useful and actually being productive and useful.  One of the key parts of that is what we call cognitive switching, which is a phenomenon […]

Discipline and Freedom

Every morning I’m in the gym, I call out:”Hey Siri, one minute!” – and every five minutes I run, I say “Five minutes!”. It’s been like this for a while, as part of some process of systematization that’s started happening in my head sooner than I could say any lickety-splits […]
