Hi there, the name is Amir Hassan. Like the main characters in The Kite Runner, except I am just one person, and I am a Malaysian. Welcome to my website. Here I write about some personal adventures, coffee, and other thoughts on current issues, economics, politics and public policy.

If you’re wondering about the site’s name, it’s simply a pronunciation of my name in the local dialect of my hometown Besut, in the Malaysian Peninsula State of Terengganu. To say it, just go ah-meh ha-seh (‘eh’ as in, “eh, that was a decent attempt at saying something in a local dialect”).
