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.

Out with the old, in with the new

Out with the old, in with the new... Or is it out with the new, in with the old. Many people might simply just give up. People want politics to work for them.  Not politicians politicking to warm the seat of governance. Health caution: the follo

Five

FiveA note to British based readers, I'm not about to go into a tirade (or a serenade) of the television channel, Five.  A flatmate, describes it with one short sentence, "Soft porn channel".  We only switch to Five, if there's a movie wo

Currently reading in 2004I admit to being a great thief of time.  The time spent in reading these is the time not spent on my PhD.  However, I'm not repentant.  I'll probably do my "penitence" by burning the midnight oil every other day
