#546 - How Trump Assassination Attempt Changes The Election & Why Are Malaysians Naming Their Children “Skibidi”?


Listen Later

This past weekend, footage of the shocking assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump sent shockwaves around the world. Some have declared it as a major turning point in the presidential election that tilts the race heavily in Trump’s favour. We dissect the reasons why. Closer to home, Malaysian authorities have officially advised parents against giving exotic names to their children; citing names like “bodoh” (Malay for stupid), “harimau” (tiger), and even “skibidi” (Gen Z slang). Do we need more safeguards against parents who choose to give their children such weird names?
