In conjunction with International Day of Education, this episode of A Bit of Culture, we discuss all things in the realm of learning. Kam Raslan chats with guests Zan Azlee, who is a documentary filmmaker, teacher and columnist together with BFM’s Morning Run producer, Sim Wie Boon. Wie Boon enlightens us with uniquely Malaysian hoaxes and makes some notable references to other local superstitions. Next, Kam recounts his student days to share an interesting tale of the most important thing that he learned in school that had nothing to do with education. Finally Zan Azlee wraps up with TikTok generation students knowing more than the teacher a.k.a him in this digital climate.
