Three polarizing topics from our culture vultures - that’s an ABOC standard right there. In the midst of writing his novel, Kam checks in with Uma and Carla about finding balance in a story. In light of BFM’s commemoration of the late great Sudirman, Uma ponders on the impact of young artistes who’ve left us and Carla brings the balance to the trio with an attempt to humanize Donald Trump, giving an insight to the President’s early life in New York.
