After university in 2011, Samuel went t a rural primary schl fr native children, where, n his first day, anther teacher tld him, "Samuel, yu dn't have t d much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel wuld spend years fighting against.
The Orang Asli cmmunity has struggled with pverty, melting int sciety, and lsing their wn identity and culture due t thers' disregard f it.

The idea f using a public bathrm with see-thrugh walls may sund like a nightmare. But a famus Japanese architect is hping t change that view, using new technlgy t make restrms in Tky parks mre appealing.

Grwing up, we are cnstantly reminded that yung peple are heavily affected by technlgy. We prefer t text ur friends in the same rm rather than make eye cntact with them. And even thugh never-ending studies reveal t us the extent f ur scial media addictin, we shuld at least cnsider that it’s nt nly ur yung peple’s prblem any mre.

There is n denying that I get annyed when receiving the wrds “I’ll be with yu sn” frm a parent. Smetimes what I want t d is ask ne questin. But, at the same time, every day leaving the rm t wait until my father is finished with his “serius business” (Farmville), has nw becme the nrm.

But befre telling us t put ur phnes away and listing hw much damage scial media can d t us, why nt lead by example?
