Next up on the list of candidates for Come UndiMsia! fundraising event: Justine Mei Ern and Nathaniel Tan!
Justine is a student intent on breaking convention. She finds humans to be fascinating creatures and believes in the uniqueness of the individual. She’d really love to blog about her observations, but with little time, she tweets regularly instead @JustineMeiErn. Barely out of college, she approached LoyarBurok for an internship and has since been picking up invaluable skills, working tirelessly with the NGO to promote change and education. Not just a pretty face, Justine has definitely got a good head on her shoulders. A leader in the making, we’d say. A democracy run by a savvy young person with her feet and ears firmly on the ground? That’s a YES!
Nathaniel Tan believes this world is full of people, and he was born to love them all. He believes that a better future for the nation lies not in cynically vilifying politics, but working hard to get the kind of political landscape we truly deserve. For Come UndiMsia!, he will be focusing on imagining a political system where one gets ahead not by putting others down, but by helping others up – where you score most points not by hating your opponents, but by encouraging the most unity and cooperation possible. Radical? Radical. Nat tweets @NatAsasi.
Stay tuned for who’s next tomorrow!

The Pusat Rakyat LoyarBurok (PRLB) is a community centre run by the Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights (MCCHR). PRLB is open to Homo Sapiens (or higher i.e. Homo Superior like the X-Men), all species of simian and civil society organisations who wish to use the space for meetings, activities or events that support, promote or enhance the mission and spirit of MCCHR. MCCHR’s mission is to promote and protect human rights in Malaysia in accordance with established international rights principles, treaties and law by maximising the use of all appropriate tools through integrated and community-based approach. We also like to party and do other fun stuff. Serious. PRLB’s main purpose is to provide a conducive and safe space for youth (don’t worry, old flers are also welcome-lah) to engage constructively, discuss and educate themselves (and others) about civil, political, economic, social and cultural issues. It also seeks to provide a platform for other beneficial rakyat-orientated activities such as parties and other fun stuff. I know we sound stuffy here, but we are serious about the fun stuff.
