  • Talkback Thursday: Do you speak to your children about the birds and the bees?

    In these past weeks, we've had a number of news relating to sex education. We've learned that there are about 18,000 teen pregnancies every year in Malaysia. There's an on-going disagreement about how the baby hatch solution is a failure, and today, a report from the US says teens practice safer sex if they were more open to talking to their parents about it. So to parents out there, do you speak to your children about the birds and the bees?

  • Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah Dunia: The Man in the Iron Mask

    During the reign of Louis XIV, an unnamed, unknown, man was guarded in isolation under the most hideous circumstances, in remote and tightly confined prisons with double doors. As he was transferred from places of captivity, an iron mask was placed over his head so he could not be seen or heard. His identity is one of the best kept secrets in all of history. His story has been the subject of books, plays and films, and the the glamorizing of his curious life has served only to plunge his real identity deeper into obscurity.

    This month, on Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah Dunia, Umapagan Ampikaipakan investigates the history surrounding this mysterious man. Who was he? Why did he spend most of his adult life in prison? And why did he wear an iron mask?

  • Far From Home 1: Migrants’ Art Activism

    We always speak of the immigrants in Malaysia as 'the other'. In actual fact, the 6 million of them who have made Malaysia their home for years are just like us; they have dreams, stories and fears. Over the next 12 weeks, we'll be bringing their stories on air, disengaging you from the common migrant narrative and instead, giving them something they often get deprived of: a voice. In today's episode, we'll speak about activism in the migrant community; are they aware of where they can go to and to whom they can speak to when their rights are abused?
