With my migration mentor from Singapore, Mohsin Dada who showed me the lifeworlds of migrant workers from a close way and revealed the hypocrisy of civil society, and true value of human dignity. Family, truly.
Discussing Singapore and the region over a soft drink and sheesha at a Arabic place in Bukit Bintang is a joy, not surpassed by not a lot more.
I still write on the lifeworlds of migration in the Indian Ocean Region, and no academic or activist’s cancelling or gatekeeping can deter a migrant to write.
We are made of sterner stuff.
