Augustman Malaysia - July 2023

In this issue

Our July cover star and musician Josh Kua, for one, serves as a fine example of Aristotle’s school of thought. The violin virtuoso used the time-off from the hiccups of his overseas expansion as “a chance to explore new ideas through the frame of philosophy.” Photographed in the latest leather and watch offerings by Montblanc, Josh added that self-awareness is the key to owning your niche and developing your artistry. He has recently released the single All a Game, featuring cyberpunk vibes and his own vocals for the first time in his career, to mark the next chapter of his career.

Next, we have the esteemed artist Yee I-Lann. Afflicted by the increasingly toxic environment around her several years ago, the long-time resident of Kuala Lumpur escaped from the city to her hometown in Sabah. What was intended to be a short break soon transformed into a journey of rediscovering the wealth of Borneo’s indigenous heritage. Today, she has returned with the full force of her discovery in the form of Borneo Heart, along with the release of two new books.

For the avid traveller who craves a short getaway, look no further than our homeland. Simply travel to the state of Perak and visit the quiet town of Lenggong, a land that was once part of the Malay kingdom of Pattani and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. With this title, one man by the name of Abdul Nasir Jalaludin (Nash) decided to create a heritage homestay – Rumah Tiang 16 – to encourage the local tourism.
