KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
It's March 2010! Without an overarching theme this month, we find ourselves eclectic, nevertheless. For PULSE, we take at the rebirth of KL Plaza -- soon to be known as Fahrenheit 88. We also train our eyes south, towards the SG$6.59 billion Resorts World Sentosa mega-play-complex. For Cari Makan, we speak to Tiffany Chew, one of the cool BFM 89.9 DJs, about why she sembangs for a living; for Introducing, we introduce singer-songwriter Diandra Arjunaidi.
In OUT&ABOUT, we've got photos from 2manydjs's January gig in KL; the city's second close encounter with post-rock quartet Mono; the flower-filled, goodness-affirming Everything's Gonna Be Alright; and more!
EAT&DRINK finds us musing at Kayu Nasi Kandar's bid at an all-in-one super-restaurant, The Last Polka's homemade ice-cream, and the new Reggae Bar on Changkat Bukit Bintang. We also venture into KL's inner city, to peek (successfully or not) at ethnic food establishments that cater to our migrant population: Mm, Myanmar beer and kaukswe on the cheap! Meanwhile, Friedchillies' Honey Ahmad reminds us not to take traditional foods for granted.
For THE ARTS, we give you the latest on the lucrative 2nd Kakiscript Playwriting Competition; Amy Search's coming autobiographical musical, Suatu Masa Amy; and the Your Grandfather's Road film project. Also, we quiz architect Nani Kahar on her team's creative plans for the Solaris Dutamas development. By the way, a handy 101: how to make sense of a visual-art exhibition curator's essay! Find out what "conceptual interrogation" means!
In LIFE&STYLE, we recommend Napoleon's handmade soaps, vintage shoppe The Old Blossom Box, and -- a manual staple gun? Well, stranger things have happened. And how about a rare stare into the wonders of The Magic Annexe, a by-invitation-only Malaysian magicians' club? Also, we Go and visit several cool, newish, and relatively hidden resthouses scattered around the Valley -- and beyond.
Finally, for March's FEATURE section, we've got THREE: in Know Your Rights!, find out what you should do if a cop stops you, what rights you've got as an employee, whether makeshift gated communities are actually legal, and what you should do in a street demonstration. Also, a exclusive interview with Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, who talks to us about his dad (Dr M), his sister (Marina Mahathir), PERKASA, "Allah", and Twitter. Finally, contributor Chow Ee-Tan meditates on how Facebook has changed her life.
Finally, AROUND TOWN recommendations: Kings of Convenience's gig on 21 March; Placebo's gig on 16 March; Valentine Willie Fine Art's CUT2010 photo-exhibition; and more!
