14. The exclusionary nature of colonial architecture, the myth of the lazy native, and the movie scene in Singapore

Living it up in Lion City!

Hafiz from episode 13 is back, and we chat about a lot of things: about how a lot of colonial architecture was exclusionary, how that famous sign at Cavenagh Bridge may have been meant to keep local riffraff out, how the trope that "Malays are lazy" is a myth perpetuated by colonialists, and about the movie scene in Singapore, then and now.
