  • Hadi On Corruption: High On Drama, Low On Facts

    PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang took to Facebook calling for the eradication of corruption in Malaysia, before unceremoniously stating that the majority of people who are involved in corruption were non-Muslims and non-Bumiputera. We talk about the impact of political leaders making such sweeping statements, particularly when they're not backed up with any facts or figures.

  • Today on Twitter: Food Court Oysters, Yay Or Nay?

    A recent tweet questioning why anyone would go to a food court to eat oysters when they could pay a bit more and get better quality went viral, prompting a wider conversation about price and food safety, and whether one really links up to the other. We discuss this, and ask: how do we decide what's safe to eat, especially in an open-air, food court or street food setting?
