Who are you and what do you do?

I am Hui Lin. I work in policy development, specifically on making insurance better and more accessible to the Malaysian public. Answering this is making me think: why must work always come after name in an introduction? Why do people associate “What do you do” with career?

I am Hui Lin and I like music and singing, figuring out poems and dance footwork, mulling over how beautiful mountains and a clear night sky are, books that give me existential panic attacks, a beautiful turn of phrase, the colour purple (not the book). OK and I also like some people.

Who are you and what do you do?

I’m a writer. Everything else I do—running my ecommerce company, working on new business ideas, organizing events—is part of a bigger goal to keep collecting stories and/or satisfy my curiosity.
