#BeritaBaruNakUp S01E07: crusade against LGBT lifestyle

Round-up of Malaysian social media for the week ending June 25, 2021.

I'm just slightly bitter that a Filipino has re-popularised keris in Western pop culture now 😂).

But onwards! Last weekend (June 19), I attended bootcamp for my Product Immersion Training Programme with CUNY Craig Newmark J-School, News Catalyst and Google News Intiative [previously covered in S01E05] and it was really a fulfilling time.
