A propos de

A journalist since 2012, Zurairi is an advocate for explanatory journalism and the use of AI in newsrooms — focusing on religion, human rights, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE), and social media. Zurairi is News Editor of the Malay Mail, self-described as Malaysia’s oldest newspaper, established in 1896, which now has “evolved into a trusted digital site covering local and international news that matters to Malaysians.”

He reports in English and Malay.

Growing up in pluralistic Southeast Asia — where faith is deeply interwoven into daily life and its socio-political aspects — showed me how religious beliefs fundamentally shape worldviews, personal actions, and far-reaching political decisions that transform society. Nuanced and empathetic reporting on religious matters can build bridges between communities, dismantle harmful stereotypes, and provide essential context for understanding the most significant developments shaping our world today.
