Biography
I teach in the Masters of Sustainable Urban Design programme at the Faculty of Technology and Informatics Razak, UTM Kuala Lumpur. My academic focus leans towards the politics of space, where I am predominantly interested in the availability of space for people to participate in public life. As such, I am interested in how and why spaces and infrastructure are produced and governed in relation to politics, the impact of privatisation of public goods, and how historical processes, particularly colonisation, has shaped the resultant built environment and spatial practices.
I graduated as a Part II architect from University Technology Malaysia before pursuing a Masters in Urban Design at the Bartlett UCL. I completed my PhD at the Technology University of Delft, where I wrote a dissertation on the spaces of protest in post-colonial Kuala Lumpur.
