About Anisah

            Anisah

Ainsah in Jawi

Anisah in Chinese

At times, curiosity provokes readers to find out about this person's personal details. I hate to disappoint, but there are none here beyond the following:
Muslim, woman, voter, polyglot. 

My practical heritage is Malaysian, collective memory is Straits Chinese, culture is British, outlook is Commonwealth, views are European, and my religion is Islam.  This site contains a mix-bag of entries, including but not limited to politics and political literacy,  Islam, spirituality and social justice, books and reviews, and the occasional pictures.  If you want to respond to any articles here, do leave a comment, or email me at anisah.sofia@yahoo.com
