    Strait of Hormuz: Why This Narrow Waterway Matters to the World

    Over the past couple of months, the Strait of Hormuz has been in the news every single day because of escalating tensions in the region due to the US and Israel’s illegal military attack on Iran. In response, Iran chose to close the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global oil shipments passing through the waterway, which in turn has caused a global energy crisis. But what’s unique about the Strait of Hormuz that its closure impacts us all the way here in Malaysia too? We speak to Brice Lee, Geopolitical analyst and a research fellow at University Malaya.  Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    How to Prepare for Doomsday (and Other Emergencies)

    Most Malaysians are one bad flood, one long blackout, or one supply disruption away from realising that they're completely unprepared. And if the Klang Valley floods and pandemic-era emergencies have taught us anything, it's that these things happen, and they happen fast. Tonight, we unpack what you need to know to prepare for any emergency that comes your way with Nik Muhammad Hafiz, the founder of Urban Preppers Malaysia.

    Why is Philosophy Important?

    For some, philosophy conjures images of ancient bearded Greeks, dense books and strings of big words that just don’t make sense. They might even think that philosophy is an elite discipline that never escapes the walls of academia. But for others, philosophy can be something far more ordinary and accessible to the average person – something that quietly shapes the way we think, the choices we make, and ultimately how we live our lives. We speak to the co-founders of an organisation that believes in just that, Dr Tee Chen Giap and Chew Zhun Yee of the Malaysian Philosophy Society.Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Disposable Agents of Moscow

    In recent years, European governments have uncovered plots involving so‑called “disposable agents” who are operatives sent on one‑off missions and then discarded. They’re expendable, deniable, and replaceable. How are they recruited? What missions do they undertake? And what larger strategy is Moscow pursuing? We break it down.Image Credits: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Ballet in The Modern Age

    Actor Timothée Chalamet’s recent remarks dismissing ballet and opera have reignited debate on the relevance of classical art forms in modern society. Does ballet still resonate and connect with today’s audiences? Has it endured as a dance form and method of storytelling? We explore. Image Credits: Pexels See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why Malaysians Love Adibah Amin

    Most Malaysians will recognise the 90-year-old Adibah Amin as the author of the twice-weekly New Straits Times column in the 1970s and 1980s, “As I Was Passing” (originally published under a pen name, Sri Delima). Recipient of the 1991 Southeast Asian Writers Award, she is also a celebrated novelist, educator, translator, and, whose warmth, wit and humanity shaped generations of readers across racial and linguistic lines. We’re diving into the question of why Adibah Amin is considered one of the most important and unforgettable voices of Malaysia’s literary and media landscape, together with Aishah Ali, Former Journalist and Editor (Women, Features and Sunday Mail), New Straits Times.A special tribute ceremony to celebrate the veteran journalist and writer will be held at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur on 12 April 2026. The event will also mark the launch of As I Was Passing: Legacy Edition and serve as a fundraiser to help cover the costs of her care and medical treatment.

    Why Are Women-Only Spaces Still Important?

    Women-only spaces have a long and complex history. From grassroots support groups and domestic violence shelters to professional networks, gyms, book clubs, and online communities. In conjunction with International Women’s Day, we sit down with Zara Riza, owner of the first gentlewomen’s club in KL. We also learn about the importance of women’s safe spaces with the folks at Women’s March Malaysia. Image Credit: Marookha TTDI Facebook See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
