If you’ve had a sports injury or some sort of joint pain, you’ve probably had to undergo physiotherapy. If you’re a stroke survivor, rehabilitation like occupational or speech therapy helps you recover functions for daily living. These are just some of the rehabilitation services that support millions of people to become as independent as possible following an injury or illness. (Globally, about 2.4 billion people are currently living with a health condition that benefits from rehabilitation.) Considering the burden in our society, there is a huge unmet need for rehabilitation services in the public healthcare sector. Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO, Galen Centre for Health & Social Policy, and Dr Ahmad Munawwar Helmi Salim, founder of BeVital Physiotherapy Centre, join us to discuss the gaps that currently exist and how BeVital is looking to fulfil some of these needs.

Data breaches are becoming increasingly common, and the threat of cybercrime is something that we have to be constantly aware of - especially as many of us are now working from home. But are you proactive or reactive when it comes to safeguarding yours or your company's IT infrastructure?

Join us on a special show, as we speak to Dr Saiyid Abdallah Syahir Al-Edrus, the General Manager of Cybersecurity Services at TM One, to find out just how important it is to be proactive.

The past few years have truly shaken up the workplace.

Paul Glover, C-Suite Performance Coach and author of WorkQuake: Making The Seismic Shift To A “Knowledge Economy”, styles himself the “no BS” coach, and guides us through navigating the “workquake” with the power of persuasive storytelling.

My Forever Doggo isn’t a shelter for strays. And it isn’t a non-profit organisation. Founded by Elisa Khong and run by a small team of passionate individuals, including Amy Wong, social media manager, My Forever Doggo is a startup that creates content to encourage love, kindness, and the adoption of doggos looking for their forever home. They do this by featuring dogs from various shelters under a single platform. We speak to Elisa and Amy about leveraging social media to spread awareness and supercharge their brand, the emotional heft of dealing with animals that need help, as well as running My Forever Doggo like a self-sustaining business.
