I am a Malaysian-Chinese male currently pursuing a second academic degree in the United Kingdom. I was born in Selangor Darul Ehsan nearly three decades ago; I am old enough to remember Dungeons & Dragons and ThunderCats running across my TV screen but not nearly old enough to have caught the original run of Happy Days.

Interests

I am interested in matters pertaining to history and religion, particularly that of Malaysia and China. I am also keen on understanding the impact colonialism has had on modern day inter-ethnic relationships and geopolitics as well as post-colonial responses to such legacies.

As my penultimate userbox indicates, I also practise martial arts although my understanding of fighting systems, most of which was gleaned at an informal level, is generally more broad than deep. Other than sanshou, I am also a sometime exponent of Five Ancestors Fist and Muay Thai though to regard myself as anything more than an armchair enthusiast would border on the spurious.
