Cashmere Guest Mixes ANAK BERMASALAH // 问题儿童: Singapore Special w/ Sean, Joyce, Germaine

ANAK BERMASALAH // 问题儿童 (meaning “problem child” in Malay and Chinese), deals with Southeast Asian folk music/poetry archives, (but also secretly related to me being my parents' most problematic child).

Except in this episode, I am home, in Singapore. Live from Boon Keng, my dear friend and activist Sean Francis Han interviews his neighbour and unofficial mayor of Boon Keng, Joyce Phua. She reminisces about her upbringing in developing Singapore (60s onwards), and interacts with my parents, who were listening in live.

Singlish as you hear it, Mandarin at its Singaporean-est– 

we present to you, Singapore Special I — BOON KENG.
