The History of the Necktie

Kam Raslan | Dhanya Nair | Sim Wie Boon

The History of the Necktie

Believe it or not, A Bit of Culture host Kam Raslan was actually a very fashionable person. Well, at least that’s what he would like us to believe, especially when he decides to regale his fellow guests, BFM News producer Dhanya Nair and Tatler’s Digital Editor Sim Wie Boon with the history of the necktie. In between that, Dhanya starts the show by talking about the possibilities of human beings living forever (thanks to technology) and whether that’s something that we would want? Afterwards, Sim Wie Boon gets the group (and us) to wonder whether we need to have an opinion on everything.

Produced by: Haniff Baharudin

Presented by: Kam Raslan
