A Bit of Culture welcomes the return of Eddin Khoo, writer and head of Pusaka after close to two years of absence from the show. Joining him is playwright and theatre practitioner Na'a Murad, and together, they entertain Kam’s fascination and love for chillies. After that, Na’a talks about sleep paralysis and how different cultures engage with it. Last but not least, Eddin discusses the relationship between language and nationality, in light of the government’s decision to use Bahasa Melayu for official engagements abroad.
