Huey Fen Cheong is a Senior Lecturer at Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. Her interests have been multidisciplinary, mainly linguistics, sociology, education, marketing, and psychology. Driven by a cultural and postcolonial perspective, she collaborated with a group of established scholars to initiate this Futures of Asia series (which contains this book) and the earlier COVID-19 in Malaysia series. These initiatives aim to promote Global South research and publications, especially on significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, post-pandemic normality and transformations, and the rise of AI, which equally matter to non-Western regions and deserve equal scholarly attention (and acceptance) beyond Western-centric frameworks in academia.
