A "goodbye for now" short message from Teah and Nur about the Cakap Rojak podcast, explaining the factors that have led to the decision. Thank you for tuning in to Cakap Rojak.
Calling out inappropriate and sexist comments in the workplace, or anywhere, really, can be tough. Teah and Nur talk about their experiences and why women can be afraid to speak up about the harassment they face.
Nur and Teah discuss eating alone in public as something women can be apprehensive about, as well as getting things done by yourself, like having to go to car workshops.
Part 1 of 2 on mental health. Nur and Teah discuss the possible appropriation around the mental health discussion in its current trendy state in Brunei.
Nur, Iman, and Teah discuss their experiences as women in male-dominated industries. Do men consider women's expertise the gravity as they would a man's? (No.) What's with that? (Misogyny.)
Iman, Nur, and Teah talk about their ambitions-- whether it's easy or not to achieve them, and if Teah's aspiration to be a prefect can still be a reality.
Nur and Teah are joined by the most enthusiastic food lover, Ilham Yassin. What is the food culture in Brunei, and how does it help strengthen bonds? We promise, none of us said "nom nom nom" in this episode.
