I don’t talk about this much but… I am actually an academic (gasp! gasp!). I teach at HELP University-College and it’s quite a lot of fun! Above is an ad that appeared in The Star.
Anyway… I’ve been invited to speak at the International Conference On Youth Research organised by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The conference is on the 16th & 17th December 2008. But I’m sure all of you are only interested in my talk (title: Making Documentary Films About the Muslim World from an Autobiographical and Pop Culture Perspective) which is at 1pm on 17th December! Muahahahahahaha!!! Oh… and the venue is the Marriott Hotel, Putrajaya. Make sure you all show up to take a picture with me!!

I’ve been working on a special TV news report for Al Jazeera in conjunction with World Human Rights Day (10th December 2008).
Ibrahim, his brother and a friend
My assignment from the producer was to find out how refugee children in Malaysia live and go to school… basically, their right to education. I interviewed a Rohingya boy named Ibrahim and a girl named Fatimah.
Refugee kids in a UNHCR 'school'
Datuk Ishak Mohamed, Malaysian Immigration Department
The sad thing about it is that Malaysia doesn’t recognise refugees so they can’t go to public school. But there are programmes organised and funded by the UNHCR.
So don’t forget to watch my special report on Al Jazeera this Wednesday, 10th December 2008!
