Read MoreA Million Dollar Coin
A work of fiction by Inksight contributor Shasidharan Kesavan. Nadia was a girl who believed in, well, in nothing at all. She lived with Marco, her pet mongrel that looked more like a Jack Russell having stopped growing after a year. Nearby a Subway station, she lived in a rented apartment that let’s just say was less of a home than her place of work. The only good thing about it was her 90 year old...

Read MoreAbout a Boy
BMCC undergrad Shasidharan Kesavan shares a prose about facing inevitable changes. A blinding flash of light is all I see; I can barely open my eyes as I feel the cold grasp of human touch. It’s all a little too much; I’m excited and terrified at the same time. I can’t seem to understand where I am as I slowly hear a distinct voice, “Thank you” I don’t know what I’m hearing or what is...

Read MoreBeyond The Male Thigh Gap
Magazines and brands sculpt unrealistic thigh gaps that are big enough to fit another person through. It’s worse when they are men’s. By BMCC undergrad Russell Cheah. Our sons, brothers and nephews are raised with the ideology that a man’s masculinity lies in how far they can push themselves in the gym to look like the poster boys we see on social media – toned, buff and ripped. To be fair, the...

Read MoreThe fault in our journalism
Malaysia’s media environment is nothing short of a sickening mess. Journalism has become a casualty. The truth its greatest victim. Everything seems to be in tatters. There are no two ways about it: either change or perish. By BMCC undergrad Khalil Majeed. Walking down the aisle of cubicles to my desk, I thought to myself, “How bad can it possibly be?” My internship had just begun, and I was excited....

Read MoreIn the shadow of a beast
What a label brings to the fray is not just a means to communicate, but also a method of opening relations that was once lost. BMCC undergrad Khalil Majeed introspects what it means to be a “terrorist”. It’s derogatory, but it’s important that people are comfortable – even when it’s at the behest of your own ego. I like being labelled a ‘terrorist’. I look the part, there’s...

Read More“I’m just like any other person in the street”
When a transgender is arrested, more often than not, they are stripped, molested and coerced to perform oral sex. The fight for transgender rights is real but Nisha Ayub is here to make a change. By BMCC undergrad Josephine Ong. “They arrested me just because I was wearing women’s attire,” Nisha Ayub said. “I had to do sexual favours.” “And that was my first experience of sex…in...

Read MoreThe meaning of religion
Religion has been used as an instrument to protect distorted ideologies and has been one of the main causes of terror occurring today. Can faith unite or divide? By BMCC undergrad Josephine Ong. When Mr. Irwan Marlius, an MPU subject lecturer of IACT, suggested a one-day field trip to visit the holy temples in Kuala Lumpur, the BMCC class did not seem too keen about it. However, when he mentioned that the...

Read MoreUnderstanding Hollywood horror films through Psychoanalysis
BMCC undergrad Reyna Gopal takes us through horror with Freud and Lacan. The horror genre, as Carroll (1990) avers, has been a mass aesthetic stimulation since the early 1970s in America – following the success of The Exorcist (1973). Viewers’ fascination towards horror films is deemed as a form of ‘safety valve’ – allowing them to face frightful situations in a secure condition. The account of...
