RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on family and kinship structures, the contemporary Cham community, and the impact of development on the Orang Asli. I am particularly interested in how marginalized communities navigate and adapt to social and economic transformations. Through ethnographic inquiry, my work aims to deepen the understanding of social dynamics, identity, and development challenges within the Malaysian context.
