A while back, a Kuching businessman lost RM1 million from his bank account after answering a phone call. However, the funds were recovered after a report was made to the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC), but the biggest mystery is how did it happen in the first place?

However, if you were to find yourself involved in an EV emergency, there are some things that you should be aware of and also be prepared to fork out a certain amount if you need to replace an EV tyre.

On today's episode of Let's Talk About, Amin and Alex share some advice on EV emergencies from Alex's recent experience with his Kia EV6.

Recently, there's a growing hype for EVs in Malaysia, which means many people are getting curious about what to know when getting into EVs.

On today's episode of Let's Talk About, Amin and Alex answer some of the many common questions about EVs.

In one of our previous episodes a while back, we talked about the poor state of EV charging infrastructure in Malaysia based on our experience reviewing the Hyundai Kona e-Max.

So the question is, what will RapidKL do to prevent this from happening again?

With the latest 5G development in Malaysia, there are now 5 major telcos that have signed the Share Subscription Agreements (SSA) with DNB. However, Maxis remains the only telco that has yet to sign, but we can expect them to launch 5G services by January 2023.

Now that more Malaysians can experience 5G, what can we expect? And, what are the 5G plans that are available?
