CAPI intern Charlotte White (UVic Anthropology, UVic Geography, University of Victoria - Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Victoria): "A first sunrise over Kuala Lumpur. Woke to the heat and the sound of morning prayer on the first day of Ramadan. The second day here and the last two days have been filled with new swaths of city scapes, language lessons from taxi drivers, birds that sound like squeaky tires, and a torrential downpour, during which time I decided it was the perfect moment to schlep my 800 suitcases across town to our place."

From CAPI intern Chris Tse in Malaysia (grad student with UVic School of Social Work, University of Victoria): "'With this new government, I am confident Malaysia will become the Tiger of Asia once again.' 🐯🇲🇾- Karamjeet Singh (retired manager turned Grab driver, Kuala Lumpur). . A week post-election and many folks are still feeling pretty optimistic about the new government. I went to an artivist market on the weekend to see a panel from women's and queer rights activists on how this new government can support a more inclusive Malaysia. Picked up this gem of a piece from @kikiyaya_ there."
