Kam Raslan is joined by doctors, Dr Jason Leong and Dr Ann Lee on this round of A bit Of Culture. Kam Raslan opens up with the topic of Corona virus. Just like the virus, the spreading of fear behind it on social media is insinuating panic and racism. If the virus would have come from any other country would the reaction still be the same? Then, Dr Anne proposed the topic of contagion. They also discussed how this Wuhan virus outbreak is made to be a proxy for other issues. Changing gears, Dr Jason shared how Brazilian Jiutjitsu gave him the strength to be gentle. A revelation that he had gotten during his friend’s wedding.
