My main areas of research include Varieties of English, in particular, Malaysian English, as well as language use in educational and in multilingual contexts. I also work on an endangered language, Melaka Portuguese, which I have digitally archived at the Endangered Languages Archive. As part of my interest in indigenous languages and culture, in 2019, I co-convened an exhibition on indigenous languages in Malaysia in conjunction with the International Year of Indigenous Languages. I also recently co-edited a book, Selected Research on Orang Asli Communities. My work and thoughts on endangered languages in general, and more specifically on Melaka Portuguese, have been featured in local and international media. I am a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia and I was the 2013 Ian Gordon Fellow at the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, Victoria University of Wellington. I am currently an Adjunct Professor at Mahidol University in Thailand.
