Hello and Salam Sejahtera!

My name is TheDuck, inspired from what my niece calls me.

My Interests

edit

My interests are varied, given my meandering career path and wildly diverging pastimes. Here they are, in no particular order;

  • humanitarian work, accountability mechanisms, governance, places of detention, politics of aid
  • positive psychology, personal development, interpersonal relations, introspection
  • social media, communication, whistleblowing (anonymous or otherwise)
  • intersectionality, women's issues, Islam, syariah law
  • English and Malay literature
  • local history and points of interest, and finally
  • translating content - to and from - English and Malay.

Why write for Wikipedia?

Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘When a man dies, his deeds come to an end, but three:
1. recurring charity,
2. or knowledge (by which people) benefit,
3. or a pious off-spring, who prays for him (for the deceased).’
Sahih Muslim, Book 013, Number 4005, narrated by Abu Hurayrah

One out of the three is doable, writing it is then.
