In the week leading up to GE15, we unpack the political news and speculation of the day with a panel of guests, looking at it all with (hopefully!) some warmth and humour. We talk about what value shifts over time, what it takes to get politically re-educated, and whether the youth and undecideds will turn up on polling day.

How do we deal when the outcome of a GE is not the one we want? We speak to Paul Jambunathan, consultant clinical psychologist, about being self-aware and about coping strategies for us as individuals but also collectively.

Does it bother you when politicians wear luxury goods? Should our leaders flaunt their wealth when the rakyat struggles to afford basic necessties? How and why does a hoodie cost two thousand ringgit? These are just some questions you're bound to have, after a visit to Voteordié, a satirical e-commerce site that pretends to sell luxury items worn by Malaysia's political elites. We speak to the folks behind the site about their novel take on voter education in the lead up to GE15.

When it comes to cancer, doctors always emphasise the importance of being early - early in diagnosis, and early in treatment. But how early is early, and what difference does it make to someone diagnosed with prostate cancer? Consultant clinical oncologist Dr Jennifer Leong joins Dr George Lee to look at the value of early genetic testing, early treatment, and early intensification of hormone treatment.

As expectations over healthcare reform increase in the lead-up to GE15, we take a step back from the Malaysian context to look at healthcare systems in various countries across Asia. How do these systems achieve universal health coverage, especially when faced with common challenges like NCDs, the ageing population, and disparities in access to healthcare? On the eve of GE15, Sejal Mistry, Regional Director for Southeast Asia from ACCESS Health International, joins us to explore the strengths and weaknesses of different healthcare systems, and what lessons Malaysia can take away from neighbouring countries.
