The Ethnicity Tag: Edwin Sumun

Theatre award-winning actor, director and designer Edwin Sumun, also known for his drag alter ego Shelah!!!, answers The Ethnicity Tag and reveals secrets about his Minangkabau-English-Irish-Japanese-Chinese roots – and also his love for red bean soup.

The Ethnicity Tag is an exclusive 8-episode series from Star2.com that features Malaysians with multi-ethnic roots and multi-racial ancestry revealing truths and secrets about their family tree.

Each guest is asked seven questions about their history, culture and traditions, as we explore their inherited characteristics and also the things that shape their Malaysianness.

The original Ethnicity Tag idea started as a social experiment among vloggers all over the world, who were asked by fans to talk about their ethnic backgrounds.

In this Star2.com series, all our guests come from various lineages but it’s also that diversity that makes every one of them uniquely Malaysian.
