Guest: Khairudin Rahim, spokesperson, TTDI Resident’s Association, Tan Boon Hua, Vice President, Friends of Bukit Kiara
TTDI residents have launched a formal petition to halt a new development project located near the Bukit Kiara Federal Park. The primary concern centers on the potential loss of remaining green space, increased traffic, and the impact on the park’s ecosystem. We discuss the broader implications with Khairudin Rahim, spokesperson of TTDI Resident’s Association and Tan Boon Hua, Vice President of Friends of Bukit Kiara. (Starts at 22:46)
• Bukit Aman’s war on fentanyl vapes: Medical experts warn of a "public health catastrophe" if fentanyl, a "zombie drug" 50 times more potent than heroin enters the local market. Even minute amounts can be fatal, with soaring global overdose rates signaling a major threat. We discussed the drug's devastating physiological impact with Dr. Amer Siddiq Amer Nordin from Universiti Malaya. (Starts at 17:44)
• Are frequent tech glitches killing WFH productivity?: As technical glitches and infrastructure instability rise, the sustainability of current WFH setups is being called into question. These disruptions are causing real-world productivity losses and increasing digital fatigue for both bosses and employees. We dive into the core problems of the remote work dream. (Starts at 11:49)
• Why 'Ponteng Parlimen' is a public concern: The issue of parliamentary truancy is back in the spotlight. The "Dilarang Ponteng Parlimen" campaign, initiated by activist Roshinee Mookaiah, demands stricter attendance measures and higher accountability for lawmakers who skip critical sessions. We speak to Roshinee Mookaiah about the drive to end empty benches. (Starts at 6:34)
• Remembering Khong Yen Chong: We pay tribute to Khong Yen Chong, the artist and former inmate who created the record-breaking mural at Pudu Prison. His story took a heartbreaking turn when it was revealed that his body remained unclaimed at Penang Hospital for more than 50 days following his passing in February. We reflect on his artistic contribution to KL’s heritage and the community-led efforts that eventually ensured he received a dignified farewell. (Starts at 0:23)
