It’s good to be home (Malaysia) as you realised how long you’ve been away from convenience and amazing food. 😂

The signs promote a white supremacist group for "young white men who will assume the mantle of re-taking control of our own country”. Auckland University won't take them down.

Growing up in Malaysia got me used to hearing Muslim prayer broadcasted everyday. I am glad it is being broadcasted this Friday nationwide. Never have I felt more at home than ever. #ChristchurchMosqueAttack

On headscarf: please don’t exert white feminism crap on it. Be respectful.

What too many white ppl don't get is that being an ally =/= helping yourself while you help (or think you are helping) poc. Allyship isn't meant to benefit you, and you aren't meant to enjoy it let alone profit off it. The opposite: being an ally means giving something up.

2/2: being multicultural is about having an in-depth and ingrained understanding of how people live, how people grow, and embracing them by learning how to speak in their languages, how to celebrate what’s important to them like it is yours.

1/2 Reflection: growing up in a Muslim majority country and living and breathing around so many masjid has taught me to understand respect and to embrace differences. I am lucky I have that opportunity to know and to be educated, some just never gets it.

@NealCurtis It scares me to anticipate what is going to come out of their mouths...

[AverageJoe @joequin88]

@NealCurtis The fact that we allowed these people to have a platform sharing their views is the very essence of why racism is spreading like wildfire and still get treated as casual jokes.

Australia turut sama bersedih bersama masyarakat Islam di seluruh dunia. Australia tidak akan bertolak ansur dengan ideologi ekstremis berhaluan kanan yang telah mendorong kepada serangan pengganas ini. /3

Wow. Apparently being critical towards patriarchy at home is a potential crime. Once again proven just how fragile patriarchy is. #WomensMarchMy

"The government’s response to target the organisers and marginalised women for exercising their right to assembly and expression in the month of International Women’s Day is not only ironic but also oppressive and regressive." #womensmarchmy
