In this episode of AASYP Today, we explore major stories shaping Southeast Asia and the Pacific. We discuss recent weather developments across the region, highlight inspiring efforts toward women’s empowerment through ASEAN-Australia cooperation, and unpack the implications of Indonesia’s ban on the iPhone 16 for tech and international relations. We also reflect on the widely discussed performance by The 1975 in Malaysia and its cultural impact. To wrap up, the AASYP team shares curated entertainment picks from Southeast Asia, including films, music, and books. Tune in for fresh, youth-led insights on regional issues, trends, and stories that matter.
