Augustman Malaysia Magazine - September 2024

In this issue

More often than not, there are more merits and facets to a person or situation than is initially perceived, as is the case of our September 2024 cover star Lucas Bravo. The French actor may have captured the imagination of fans of Emily in Paris the world over with his meteoric rise to fame in his starring role as Lily Collins’ love interest, but Augustman managed to get the man to open up following the recent premiere of the show’s second season and reveal a more reflective and profound side to him than his studly veneer. Despite hailing from a privileged background as the son of a football star, Lucas has taken over 10 years to make his break. Today, while navigating a budding career on screen, he is also passionate about playing a role in environmental activism.

Aside from Lucas Bravo, we’ve also cast the spotlight on the Anugerah Harapan prize-winner at this year’s Merdeka Awards, namely investigative journalist Ian Yee, for his unwavering commitment to championing truth, justice and freedom of press as the editor of the Asia Investigative Reporting Network (AIR Network), a programme by the International Center for Journalists and Pact, which aims to strengthen investigative journalism in Southeast Asia, and the co-founder of The Fourth, an award-winning not-for-profit investigative media startup, which is self-funded through commercial video productions, impact communications consulting, and professional content/journalism training programmes.
Enjoy!
