Malaysia and China

Jennifer Pak in Kuala Lumpur finds some people still look askance at single women in Asia; Vaudine England visits the decaying home of reformer Kang Youwei, stranded in Beijing.

Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from 麻豆社 correspondents, writers and journalist around the world. Today, Jennifer Pak finds even masseurs won't refrain from intrusive questions about her marital status in Kuala Lumpur - and asks why so many people still look askance at single women in Asia. Vaudine England ventures through the frenetic construction of today's Beijing to visit a neglected heritage site - the former home of modernising Chinese hero and social reformer Kang Youwei.
