This week on A Bit of Culture, Kam Raslan is joined by BFM Video's Rahmah Pauzi and Vernon Adrian Emuang to form our cultural trident; discussing Rocketman, racism and influencer culture. Vernon starts us off with his admiration for all things Elton John, in light of the release of the biopic, Rocketman. Kam then reacts to some recent newspaper headlines to discuss the problem of racism in our collective consciousness. And finally, Rahmah sheds light on the Priyanka Chopra fiasco and ponders on the role of modern day "influencers".
