The father-and-son team has tweaked the Scottish play and situated it on our fair shores, and retell the Bard’s tale with local flavours that extend beyond rendang, rumours and rascals. They tell us the process and the challenges of translating Shakespeare.

In addressing some of the issues that are ever-present in schools such as ensuring and maintaining a quality education and managing the cost that comes with it, we speak to Matthew Haney. He's one of the guys in San Francisco behind unifying a conglomerate of public schools together in hopes to solve problems in their education system one at a time.

With 10 new cases each day in Malaysia, there is a great need to ensure we have access to information and services on HIV and AIDS. In conjunction with the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial Day, the Kuala Lumpur AIDS Support Services Society (KLASS) organised a fundraising dinner recently. We find out from our guests about the response from that event from Andrew Tan and and Bakhtiar Talhah. 

For more information, you can reach out to KLASS at www.klass.org.my or [email protected]. If you'd like to know more about the LUWWY project (MSM testing service using Case Management approach), you can contact them at [email protected].

Last month, the terror group Abu Sayyaf filmed the beheading of Canadian hostage John Ridsdel and uploaded the video on the internet. This is the latest in a series of barbaric acts committed on an increasingly frequent basis. Four Malaysians were kidnapped in March off Sabah’s east coast and are currently held captive in the Southern Philippines. Negotiations are reportedly on-going  to secure their release, and prevent a repeat of Sarawakian Bernard Then, who was beheaded late last year. Aruna Gopinath, Professor of Politics and International Relations at the National Defence University, helps us understand the history of Abu Sayyaf and its motivations. Professor Aruna spent her career studying the problem of terrorism in the Philippines and is the only Malaysian woman to have conducted fieldwork in the dangerous rebel-controlled areas of Southern Philippines.

Independent writer and consultant P. Gunasegaram discusses why West Malaysians should start paying much more attention to Sabah and Sarawak, who are right now the kingmakers of the federal government.

They're here and they're angry. They may NOT be from Sentul, Brickfields or Klang, and they may not be old men. However, these guys have one thing in common with the stereotypical old men you see in movies. They all come with massive amounts of angst and flaring tempers, also they have a new addition to their arsenal -- Thenesh Skip, and he's their secret weapon. Caw Caw!
