PAS has decided to end their political cooperation with Bersatu after 6 years, following a central working committee meeting by PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang. We are joined by Dr Syaza Shukri, Associate Professor of Political Science at International Islamic University Malaysia, to discuss Bersatu's political survival and the likelihood of a revived PAS-UMNO Muafakat Nasional 2.0 pact. (Starts at 22:52)
• Barisan Nasional unwilling to work with DAP in Johor: Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has declared he would rather step down than work with DAP ahead of the upcoming state elections. The comments sparked a sharp backlash from DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, calling the stance arrogant. We spoke to Wong Chin Huat, a political scientist at Sunway University about the federal impact of the BN-DAP dispute. (Starts at 15:57)
• Gated alleys to pocket parks: The Petaling Jaya City Council is launching a pilot project in Taman SEA, SS23, to transform underused back alleys and side lanes into shared community spaces. There has been pushback from some residents accustomed to using the fenced-off lanes for personal parking. We get into it. (Starts at 10:57)
• Government wants car crash footage off social media: The government is considering expanding the definition of "online harm" to include graphic content. This comes after dashcam videos of a fatal accident that killed 6 members of a family went viral online. We hear thoughts from Mediha Mahmood, CEO of Content Forum, and Dr Benjamin Loh, Lecturer of Digital Media and Communication at Monash University, Malaysia. (Starts at 05:48)
• Roti canai dish wins Masterchef challenge: Online debate has sparked after Jamie Tan, a contestant of Malaysian-Taiwanese descent won a Masterchef challenge by cooking roti canai. While many Malaysians are celebrating the win, others have criticised her for mispronouncing the dish as 'roti kanai' with her broad New York accent. We discuss Malaysian culture hitting World Stage like Masterchef, despite the mispronunciation mishap. (Starts at 00:30)
