    What To Expect When You Go For Your COVID-19 Vaccination?

    While some of us are ready to race for the COVID-19 vaccines as soon as we get our appointment, there are others who are anxious about what the process will be like, and many more who are generally hesitant about getting the COVID-19 vaccine. We take a look at what exactly happens at a major vaccination centre, and why it’s important for us to register for the COVID-19 vaccine and stick to our appointments.

    Reviewing the Safety of the AstraZeneca Vaccine

    On Tuesday (26th April), the Ministry of Health announced that the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine will be used in Malaysia, only for those aged 60 and above right now. But this move has sparked pretty widespread concerns over the blood clot risks that the vaccine will pose to our elderly. We take a look at what these risks are and whether it is safe to take the jab. Image source: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Postcards From the Future

    The global call for this year's Earth Day was for everyone to work together to Restore Our Earth. Here in Malaysia, Malaysians are being called upon to plant 100 million trees by 2025 to promote the country's green agenda, but despite this, the degazettement of many forests are still being proposed by local authorities. While contemplating this disconnect, we will also look at how campaigners for environmental causes are getting creative to fight green-fatigue, and zoom in on the Postcards from the Future campaign, another weapon in the arsenal to stop the degazettement of the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve.

    Kita Semua Penghasut

    The arrest of artist-activist, Fahmi Reza (yes -- AGAIN), last Friday for his allegedly seditious satirical Spotify playlist, rubbed many Malaysians the wrong way, as many took to Twitter to voice their frustrations. However, there were also some who voiced their support over the arrest.  We discuss the events that transpired and speak with a freedom of speech activist about the importance of satire and dissent in a democracy.   Image source: Fahmi Reza's Twitter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Earth Day 2021 - Restore Our Earth

    Some have said that the pandemic is an opportunity for nature to hit reset and benefit from less human activity, while others said this is a warning to humans about the consequences of our actions. This Earth Day, we take a look at how nature has fared in the past year, what should be our priorities in environmental protection before it’s too late, and how we can all start to be more environmentally conscious.  Image source: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
