After years serving its neighbourhood, the work to demolish Plaza OUG has finally started to make way for a new development. As people reminisce about the time they spent there and the memories that they have of the place, we look at how malls, especially neighbourhood malls, serve a bigger function to our lives than just for their intended purpose.

Road to GE is a show that explores your power in deciding who serves you in government. 

On our first episode, we discuss the whole idea of going back to your hometown to vote for elections. Every time there’s an election in Malaysia, there’s talk of needing to take a couple of days off from work, traffic jams and increase in prices of flight tickets, as people rush to make it back to their hometowns to vote. This is something very normal here, something we’re all accustomed to. But what if this practice could be hurting democracy a little bit. 

Danesh Prakash Chacko, Director, Tindak Malaysia, joins us to discuss.

Refugees in Malaysia are only recognised as such through their UNHCR cards, as Malaysia’s law does not make any distinctions between refugees and undocumented migrants. However, the Malaysian government recently introduced the Tracking Refugees Information System - also known as TRIS - for all UNHCR card holders, to identify their whereabouts in the country. This move has raised concerns among refugee rights groups and activists about its necessity and implementation. We speak to Tham Hui Ying, Executive Director of Asylum Access Malaysia to discuss the ramifications of this move, and where it stands amidst increasing securitisation of refugees globally.
