- What I wrote two days ago.
On Wednesday around 11.45pm, I’ll be on 8TV Quickie to speak about PARAMKL and on Saturday at 5pm till buka, alongside Grey Yeoh, Chi Too and Liew Seng Tat, Simon Soon and Hariati Azizan, I’ll be speaking at Taman Jaya Park, PJ.
It is part of GENG at CHAI Project Series. The one I’m involved in is ‘Playing in the Public: picnic and chat with flashmobbers, party poppers and house carriers…’ Click here to see the Facebook link for this.
*I’m somewhat familiar with Chi Too and Grey Yeoh. I trust that these two art practitioners will make your Saturday evening worth coming to this for.
That’s just my opinion. Which is normally right when yours is wrong.

Watch the video, regarding the issue of an Israeli soldier posting pictures with Palestinian detainees, on Facebook.
Timely, as today is World Humanitarian Day. In Uni, I was involved in International Humanitarian Law (aka Laws of War/Armed Conflict) and the Third Geneva Convention clearly states that a Detaining Power, must treat POWs (Prisoners of War) humanely at all times.
For the situation above, what is going on, is not war. But point is, no one wants to be treated that way, therefore don’t do it unto others. Which is quite the issue here, some people don’t look at others as human beings.
I’m not sure who credit is due to, but I like this video. I suppose Art Director for the concept and Director for incorporating it so well. Simple yet, there.
