Vernon Adrian Emuang and Bernice Chauly join Kam Raslan on this episode of A Bit of Culture to talk about Dewan Bahasa, the passing of a beloved bookseller, and what we really mean when we say 'boleh'. Vernon starts the show by wondering what the institution actually does day to day, and whether it could be doing a lot more. Bernice then pays tribute to Ike Ong, whose bookshop became a home for Kuala Lumpur's book lovers, and the group swaps fond memories of the man who built it. In the final part of the show, Kam asks whether a word we all use every day means quite what we think it does, and the group finds there's more to it than meets the ear. Another episode of A Bit of Culture that proves words, and the people who shape them, matter more than we think.
