2019.
After years of writing, speaking, and quietly working behind the scenes, I finally found myself behind a different kind of mic — this time at Mediacorp Warna 94.2FM.
It was my debut radio appearance on Cuba-Cuba Espresso with A B Shaik and Mariam Mas’od, where we spoke about my journey as The Keris Collector, the deeper meaning behind each blade, and why preserving cultural heritage is not about the past, but about continuity.
There was laughter, reflection, and that unmistakable energy of sharing something close to the heart — in our own language, to our own people.
That morning marked a small but meaningful milestone: my first feature on Malay radio media, bridging generations through stories of the keris, craftsmanship, and the quiet pride of heritage.
Sometimes, the past whispers.
Other times, it speaks live on air.
