Selangor is currently the state with the most advanced and most comprehensive public transport system. With many train lines and public buses available, along with the new Putrajaya MRT and upcoming Shah Alam LRT, almost the whole state is connected and easily accessible. However, this is not the case throughout other states in Malaysia. There's still a long way to go for public transport efficiency.

Rajiv has been quite vocal about his advocacy for public transport with wider coverage, and has put that thought into action with his Kumpool initiative, helping connect the people of Petaling Jaya for highly subsidized rates.

This week on Policy & Chill, Rajiv and Kusha tackle the issue of racial discrimination in Malaysia's property rental market.

As a proud multiracial country, the existence of racism in such a fundamental aspect of life is quite disappointing. Although the principle of equality is included in the Malaysian constitution, the absence of laws against racial discrimination makes it easy for landlords to discriminate against certain races. This is felt most by the Indians as property owners run ads emphasizing "Chinese Only" or "Muslim Only".

Do you think it is fair for the owners to have a right of preference? Or does the government need to step in to stop racial prejudice in the rental market? Tune in to hear Rajiv & Kusha's personal experience and thoughts on this!
