Teacher, Leave Those Kids A Tome!

A Bit of Culture up the stakes this time around, with regulars Dhanya Nair and Michael Gong joining Kam Raslan to indulge in his slightly confessional topic that may (or may not) be strange to some - he likes watching videos of ears being cleaned! Not really strange, really, but what did Dhanya and Mikey think? But before we get to that, Mikey poses a very interesting question - what are three English books that they would like to teach to Malaysian teenagers. Tune in to hear what they pick! Last but definitely not least, Dhanya ends the show by talking about a topic that’s discussed on TikTok - gifted child vs mediocre adult. It’s another episode that you don’t want to miss!
