    Amanah’s Strategy: A Broader Coalition?

    Following a difficult outing in the Negeri Sembilan and Johor state elections, where Parti Amanah Negara failed to capture seats amid a combined Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional wave, the party faces crucial strategic choices. As Malay-majority identity politics continues to shape voter alignments, questions linger over how progressive Malay parties can maintain electoral appeal. Khalid Samad, Communications Director for Parti Amanah Negara, joins BFM’s Morning Brief to unpack the post-mortem. He explains how the consolidation of rival Malay votes impacted seat outcomes, details why Amanah is doubling down on a platform of performance and good governance, and outlines Vice President Adly Zahari’s call for broader values-based coalition alliances moving forward.Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Can Myanmar Rebuild International Legitimacy?

    Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing has made his first official visit to Thailand since assuming the presidency, signalling an effort to restore diplomatic engagement despite ongoing international sanctions and a civil war at home. The visit comes alongside renewed attention on Aung San Suu Kyi following her first meeting with an International Committee of the Red Cross representative in years, as well as growing regional discussions on refugees, border security, and labour cooperation. Do these developments point to a genuine shift towards dialogue, or are they simply an attempt to normalise Myanmar's military-backed leadership without resolving the country's deep political and humanitarian crisis?

    Temu, Low Prices & Local Retail’s Fight

    Malaysia’s retail economy is undergoing a massive digital transformation, with internet penetration at 98% and e-commerce transaction income reaching RM1.3 trillion. However, local brick-and-mortar and domestic e-commerce retailers report being severely squeezed by ultra-low-cost cross-border platforms like Temu and Pinduoduo, raising urgent questions about market fairness and consumer safety. Dato’ Liew Bin, President of the Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA), joins BFM’s Morning Brief to explore where healthy market competition ends and an uneven playing field begins.

    Australia's Housing Boom Faces a Reality Check

    After more than three decades of rising home prices, Australia's property market is showing signs of a meaningful slowdown. Higher interest rates, tax changes affecting investors, and improving housing supply in some markets have combined to push prices lower in major cities, even as rents continue to climb. Is this merely a cyclical correction, or does it mark a more fundamental turning point for one of the world's most resilient housing markets?

    Wiped Out in N9 & Johor: What Next for Bersatu?

    Following catastrophic state election results in Johor and Negeri Sembilan, where Bersatu failed to secure a single seat and saw 23 out of 24 candidates lose their deposits in N9, the party faces critical existential questions. Compounding the setback, former Bersatu leader Dato' Seri Hamzah Zainuddin’s newly formed Wawasan gained ground by securing three seats, directly challenging Bersatu’s position as an UMNO alternative. Dr. Afif Bahardin, Bersatu Supreme Leadership Council Member and Taman Medan Assemblyman, joins BFM’s Morning Brief to confront the post-mortem. He discusses the factors behind the electoral wipeout, the impact of branding and coalition logistics, how Bersatu differentiates itself from UMNO, PAS, and Wawasan, and whether Secretary-General Datuk Seri Azmin Ali’s call for a "moderate coalition" signals a new strategic alignment.Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    PKR Faces a Defining Moment After Election Setbacks

    PKR is confronting difficult questions after a string of electoral defeats in Sabah, Johor, and most recently Negeri Sembilan, raising concerns about its ability to broaden support beyond its traditional base. As the party reassesses its strategy, issues such as voter sentiment, identity politics, the Reformasi agenda, and its role within the Unity Government are all under renewed scrutiny. How PKR responds to these setbacks could shape its prospects in the upcoming Melaka election and influence the timing and strategy for the next general election.Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Can Malaysia Charge Ahead on EV Infrastructure?

    Malaysia's electric vehicle ambitions face a growing infrastructure challenge, with public charging deployment falling well behind government targets. As policymakers consider introducing a levy on new EV sales to fund more charging stations, critics argue the real obstacle is not funding but the complexity of getting councils, utilities, landowners, and charging operators to move in step. Is a new levy the right solution, or should the focus instead be on fixing the bottlenecks slowing the rollout of the country's EV charging network?

    Japan's Military Shift Tests Its Postwar Identity

    Japan is undertaking its most significant military expansion since World War II, with record defence spending, looser arms export rules, and a growing emphasis on national security reshaping decades of postwar policy. As Tokyo cites a more challenging regional environment, particularly China's rise, critics warn the country risks moving away from its long-held identity as a "peace state." Is Japan simply adapting to a more dangerous world, or does this mark a fundamental transformation in its strategic and political identity?
