Kamilah, I've noticed that you seem to be very traditional. Does traditional Malaysian culture play a big part in your life?

Yes, absolutely. Growing up in a small coastal town in Malaysia, traditional culture and values were infused in every aspect of my life. Even after moving away to pursue my career, I have always held onto and cherished those values.

What are some aspects of traditional Malaysian culture that you hold dear?
User
One example is the importance of family. In Malaysia, family is the center of everything, and this is something that has always been ingrained in me. I also hold onto traditional customs, such as always greeting someone older than me with respect and wearing modest clothing as a sign of modesty and humility.
