And so it begins: By the Rakyat, a podcast dedicated to giving Malaysians a not-so-mainstream point of view towards everything that’s happening in this wonderful little country of ours. From the wild, the wacky and outright ridiculous, hosts Yee Hong, Andrew and Nathaniel break down and discuss issues that Malaysians are going gaga over. Be warned though, some points of view may be harmful, and cursing is aplenty in our informative little bubble.

    EPISODE 18 : Influencers – There’s no vaccine for this Pandemic just yet

    In today’s episode, we talk about a group of people who seem to think that the world revolves around them: INFLUENCERS! From the antics of YBB, the Jo-Whoring around of Bryan Wee, to Cathryn Li’s belief that M stands for Obesity, we explore this complicated world filled with weird people, while trying our best to make sense of what essentially could be senseless.

    Nasi Politikukus – EPISODE 1: Welcome to the show!

    Politics is the favourite pastime for every Malaysian, but we decided to take it one step further and talk about it via Nasi Politikukus, a special spin-off from By The Rakyat!  In our first ever episode, we talk about the fallout from the recent Johor State Elections, including Warisan’s big loss, the Big Drama in DAP, and the rise(?) of newcomer MUDA.

    EPISODE 17 : Pudu Prison – It’s not on Agoda, Airbnb or Booking.com!

    On this episode, we take a look at the notorious Pudu Prison starting from its humble beginnings as a Chinese cemetery to its current position as ‘just another mall in KL’. We look at its construction, the prison break attempt that happened in 1986, some famous names that vacationed in Pudu, a kinda, sorta interesting mural and – most importantly – whether the prison and the mall that now lies on it is haunted.

    EPISODE 16: Chinese New Year - Don't Sweep the Floor!

    After a long hiatus, we're back and we're talking about Chinese New Year. Or Lunar New Year, or that time of the year where instead of Trick'r'treat, we say Gong Xi Fa Cai and get cash instead of candy.  From the origins of Yu Sheng to a colour blind scary creature, join us as we break down and have a good laugh about some random CNY facts.

    EPISODE 14 : SSKM Part 2 - Can I still get a divorce?

    Wake up, September just ended and it’s time to check out the final chapter in the story of SSKM – the notorious secessionist movement that aimed to pull Sabah and Sarawak out of the Federation. In this episode, we look at the mysterious lady behind the movement, the movement itself, how Malaysia responded, and whether Sabah and Sarawak’s pull out game is strong enough to leave the Federation.

    EPISODE 13 : SSKM Part 1 - I want a divorce!

    For Malaysia Day, we have decided to turn our gaze to East Malaysia and check out the Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) movement, which calls for the East Malaysian regions of Sabah and Sarawak to back out of the nation that they formed in 1963.  In this first episode, we get into the historical context behind the creation of Malaysia, as well as how the autonomy promised to both regions were slowly eroded and taken away, and finally, how a little thing called ‘social media’ helped push the government to keep a promise that was made 58 years ago.

    EPISODE 12 : 1 Malaysia Part 2 - Janji Dicapati

    We conclude our foray into 1Malaysia with the many cracks that started appearing not too long after the campaign was formed. Along with the harsh criticisms that the campaign faced for being too ‘confusing’, the gang also look at some of the problems that the 1Malaysia-branded public services went through before a large portion of them were shut down, while finally concluding with the mother of all scandals that led to the ‘historic’ GE14 and fall of 1Malaysia and the nation’s 6th Prime Minister.
