Translations: The Key To An Intellectual Malaysia?

Pause
Embed

A viral post recently called for more literature to be translated into Bahasa Malaysia, as a way for us to become more intellectual. This got us thinking about both the value of being an intellectual society, and whether this is something Malaysians aspire to be. We discuss the topic with Pusaka creative director Pauline Fan and our listeners.
