"I got my break, big break, when I was 5 years old... You see at 5, I learned to read. It's that simple... and it's that profound." -The incomparable Mr. Bond himself, Sir Sean Connery In light of that, and in line with our agenda of creating awareness and promoting intellectual discourse amongst the Malaysian youth, we have come up with a weekly segment consisting of local (Malaysia that is, in case any of you guys forgot!) and international news updates for your reading pleasures. This is our pilot project (a trial run if you may). I hope all of you guys like it, but perhaps more importantly, gain a little something (a provoking thought or maybe a tiny epiphany?) from what little effort we have put into it. If you guys have any form of feedback or suggestions, (whether it's too voluminous, or if u prefer articles as opposed to news items or vice versa , ANYTHING) please do so by emailing either khairul (azaharey@umich.edu) or dian (dianmib@umich.edu). Oh. Somebody has suggested to me that if anyone of you desire to have a discussion on any of the materials, we can do so at the UMIMSA forum website. Alternatively, feel free to write your comment in the space below. So start a topic that you'd like to talk about or let us know and we'll start one for you. =) Have fun! |
