Susan has won Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Asian Academy Creative Awards in Singapore, for her performance in Rain Town, a Malaysian drama by director Tunku Mona Riza. Susan herself speaks to us about what this win means for her.

· Malaysian Films in SGIFF:

· ‘Brainrot’ is Oxford’s Word of the Year:
It's defined as "the supposed deterioration of a person's mental or intellectual state" as a result of overconsuming trivial or unchallenging material. With the accelerated rise of online content, it's not a shock that this has made its way into the word of the year, but what's also interesting is the degree of self-awareness that the digital generation have for themselves. We speak to Elaine Fernandez, a social psychologist and COO at GIFT.ed, about why online content is so addictive to us, even when we know it's bad.
