A Bit of Culture welcomes economist Hafiz Noor Shams to the ABOC family to share his take on Malaysia’s growth in the 90s and her eventual decline. But before Hafiz’s debut topic, the show’s regular guest Julian Yap talks about girl power and the rise of female-driven pop culture content. Kam then follows that up by looking for the definition of middle class and what it entails. Another exciting episode of A Bit of Culture that explores wonderful topics from multiple different angles!
