@MuizRazakMR You don't take action against this guy. Rather look at what he has said. As you are a lecturer, you're not independent. The UITM Board needs to take this seriously and engage an independent team to review the UITM culture - interaction between students and staff

@liztai This is awesome! Also, how is this cultural appropriation when the kompang troop here are clearly Malay and presumably being paid? As long as the culture concerned is represented and not exploited, it's appreciation, not appropriation.

@AyoCaesar Sorry Ash, but when our Black sisters speak, we sit down and listen. That’s allyship.

Finally the UK government wants to review the widespread availability of GHB (the date rape drug), when women have been victims of this for years. This is what makes me angry. Things only change when straight men are the victims.

This man shares how he was abused by his ex. Yet, people are laughing. What’s funny about a woman abusing a man? It’s wrong and may be criminal. Shaming a man this way and dismissing his pain is why many male abuse victims stay silent.

@MuizRazakMR Serious allegations requires a proper investigation into the allegations, not against the people raising it. Is there a whistleblower policy in UITM? How do students and staff raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

I'm writing a chapter for a Malaysian book on why sexual harassment victims don't speak up. I focus on Power Distance -Malaysia is the highest in the world. I want to interview people who were sexually harassed by their boss/person in authority. Will be anonymous. DM me

For all Malaysians who are questioning why the Rohingya children on KL's streets aren't polite (?!!!), read this. If you want stateless children to be nice, then give them rights to an identity, to education, to healthcare, to safety, security and love.

Our kids only turn away from us when we bully them, when we fail to let them know how happy we are to see them, when we reinforce the terrible cultural messages instead of creating space for their whole selves. They are born loving us. We decide if that continues.

I thought most people understood how wrong this was. Not so. The apologists came out in full force. Oh he’s a maths genius at Imperial college, poor thing. The worst was a guy who called into @BFMradio and said, if liberals are ok with porn, why are you upset with child porn?

@Cik_Izah @MuizRazakMR But it’s ok for lecturers to have sexual relations/abuse/coercion/ misconduct with students? (Those are the legally correct terms).

@maimrtza @fatinfarhanaaa @SistersinIslam Thanks for tagging me Mai. I wish I was surprised, but this has long been the norm - Religious gaslighting which women buy into (because they believe they'd be going against Islam) - having to obey the husband, no matter what. I've written about this for a publication.

11 elements of an apology. Here's no 4: "4. Admit that you were wrong. Say it in your apology. What I did was wrong. Own it. You did this. Your victim didn’t provoke you,...

@maya_karin You are an influencer and really have the power to encourage people to understand what cultural appropriation is instead of dismissing it offhand. How about understanding how little the Indian community is represented and appreciated in Malaysia?
