    Why Is Malaysia Worse Than Our Neighbours In Tackling Childhood Stunting?

    “Richer than its neighbours but doing worse on child nutrition.” That’s how Malaysia was described by non-profit research publication Our World In Data, as they put together a graph that showed malnutrition or childhood stunting rates in Malaysia and some of our neighbours.

    Public Health: Aged Care And Our “Invisible” Women

    One in about 12 people in Malaysia is aged 65 and above. A significant proportion of them may need some sort of care eventually, as the likelihood of disorders and disabilities increases with age. But in a society where the bulk of care work is usually carried out by informal caregivers, where is Malaysia when it comes to developing a care ecosystem to support our ageing population? And why is it important to reveal the disproportionate burden carried by women in our society? Image credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Mind Matters, we’ll be delving into the role of the ED in helping people through mental health crises, with consultant emergency medicine physician Dr Jane Liaw Siew Yee and consultant psychiatrist Dr Ravivarma Rao Panirselvam.

    Brain Waves: Does Alex Honnold Really Not Feel Fear?

    On the 25th of January this year, American climber Alex Honnold became the first person to complete a free solo ascent of Taipei 101. That meant that he climbed the 508 metre building with no safety gear - no ropes or harnesses. This wasn’t his first time doing such a thing either, as he rose to fame when he free climbed the El Capitan wall at Yosemite in the United States, which stood at 914 metres high. So one can’t help but wonder: does he feel no fear? We speak to neurogeneticist Dr Azlina Ahmad Annuar and counselling psychologist Daren Despois.
