| Music (My band Samarkand recently enjoyed a 6 week run in the Malaysian Top 10 with a song I wrote called "Thirty Pieces Of Silver". In true "rock-star" fashion, I have now gone solo)
Politics (am Vice-President of the National Youth wing of the Malaysian People's Party)
Trade unionism (have been a member of the Executive Council of the National Union of Journalists since May 2000)
Just in case any of this inadvertantly sounds impressive, let me clarify ... the market for English-language records by Malaysian bands is so small that our album sales are measured in hundreds ... and leftist politics are so unpopular that I won both my party and union posts uncontested.
