Length And Format

Our essential requirements are:

1. Your narrative should be in English or Bahasa Malaysia, though we strongly encourage the use of English


2. Your narrative should not exceed 2,000 words in length (excluding references and bibliography)
3. Your narrative should be accompanied by references (footnotes or endnotes; for formatting guidelines, refer to the Harvard Referencing Guide; you might also find this Harvard-style referencing tool useful)

What we would really like is content that informs AND engages. Write for your peer group, who may not know much about the topic, or may not be particularly interested. How would you present your ideas and findings in a way that captures the attention and stirs the interest of your readers?

Feel free to include charts, graphs, images, or interview excerpts that strengthen your arguments. We also encourage you to include relevant personal experience and stories that would make your writing as compelling as possible.
