Next Stop: Brunei Darussalam

  • Summary

  • In this fortnight’s episode, Gyles and Aphra Brandreth meet with poet, writer, and actor Hariz Fadhilah.

From an insightful discussion of Syair Awang Semaun, an ancient Bruneian epic, to a poem offering commentary on the capital city, Bandar, this episode invites listeners to delve deeper into Bruneian culture and its rich poetic tradition. Poems this episode include For the Misfits, Pantun Sayang, and Ode to a Son by Hariz Fadhilah, and When in Bandar by May Cho.
