How multicultural is “Asia’s World City”? | Isa Ma | TEDxHKU

Hong Kong is often lauded for its diversity as a multicultural city, but how much of that perception is reality? Isa, a Hui Muslim from mainland China residing in Hong Kong, is here to share that diversity in Hong Kong is far from how it is perceived to be. He sheds light on the struggles of ethnic minorities under the current system of Hong Kong, despite the benefits they bring, and how we can all work to make Hong Kong a world city in reality. Isa graduated from HKU with a Civil Engineering degree in 2017 and is currently pursuing a part-time Master of Education degree in Youth Studies. As a Hui Muslim from mainland China residing in Hong Kong, Isa works as a teacher in Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College, teaching science and Islam. Due to his background and identity, Isa has experienced and thought much about the individual and social implications of identity and culture in the contemporary world. An active speaker in the Muslim community in Hong Kong and a productive author, Isa was awarded the ninth “New Moon Literature Award” in 2017 with the article《循伊漸進》 (move gradually along Islam). Isa is concerned with social justice pertaining to minority groups. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
