This week on A Bit of Culture, we delve into the topics of arts and you know.. a bit of culture. In the days following the election results, Na’a recalls moments where his play Dato’ Seri received uncanny appreciation for having previously unseen juxtaposition with the current state of affairs. Kam puts forth the question - “what makes good photography?”, reflecting on the simplicity of taking a good photograph with modern technology. And lastly, Bernice and the group discusses the importance of a ministry of culture, arts and heritage to Malaysia.
