As the Popcorn Culture team has joined many Malaysians in working from home, we thought it'd be right to talk about what we're watching from home too! Expect chats ranging from what's streaming online, movies and shows worth repeating, games worth playing and more.

As the MCO continues, PPR residents have to deal with a different set of realities when it comes to physical distancing and maintaining their mental wellbeing, due to space constraints that come with government housing. We talk to Zuraida Kamaruddin, Minister of Housing and Local Government to get insights on how they're coping with the MCO and what steps the government is taking to help the B40 stay protected during the outbreak.

Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, MERCY Malaysia has launched several initiatives to alleviate the burden placed on the healthcare system, as well as to assist target groups in the country, including the elderly. Chan Li Jin, Head of Communications & Strategic Engagement at MERCY Malaysia, talks to us about on-the-ground efforts and how its frontliners are doing.

The MCO has placed financial strain on the F&B industry, as malls shut down and sit-in diners aren't allowed. Tony Lim, Founder and CEO of Boat Noodle Sdn Bhd shares what a coalition of over 300 F&B operators is now demanding the government to help them through these tough times.

As the MCO continues, people have no gym to go to and can't run outside. With limited options to keep physically healthy, we talk to Prakash Ravindran, Clinical Psychologist and Personal Trainer, to see what alternatives we can take up at home to life up our mood and sweat it out.

With so much anxiety and uncertainty over the COVID-19 outbreak, how can parents talk to their kids – including children with special needs – about what’s going on? And how do parents manage these four weeks at home with their children, with the Movement Control Order being imposed on schools? We check in with consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan to find out more. 

With the Movement Control Order in place, some couples are forced to spend all their time together, some are forced to be completely apart, and others are getting to know each other while still practicing social distancing. So we look at how relationships and romance are faring in these times, and how couples can keep the spark alive.

Existing laws in Malaysia that require healthcare workers to report “illegal immigrants” to the authorities, have been a barrier for many undocumented migrants seeking critical early Covid-19 screenings. This has put not only themselves in danger, but society at large too. We discuss why such laws need to be urgently repealed, for the benefit of all.
