The Sambal Pod

Can we all be like those famous 'that girl' Tik Tok trend?

Is it really that easy to be the best version of ourselves?

Tune in with Faezah Mdnor, as she shares how she has achieved all that she has from founding a local business to having a successful blog with 100 K views and how she has also been that girl with a 1.93 CGPA several years back.

We spoke about finding strength in negative times and how it is really all on YOURSELF to achieve the life you want.

At this time, we do not know whether the current budget will be renewed, what we know is this budget had focused on youth A LOT (no pressure guys)

So is that good or bad? What opportunities do the government have for youth?

Will this budget affect the potential next one? 

Tune in as we spoke with Amanda Yeo, a Warisan Candidate contesting for the P172 Kota Kinabalu parliamentary seat and a Research Analyst at Emir Research as she share her thoughts on this budget and youths.

Are we in an recession right now? (Wait, does that actually mean?)

Are EPF loan withdrawals a good money move?

Is 1 million not that much?

Tune in as we had a chill conversation with Michelle from Her Duit who believes money talks should be pink and feminine (and who believes in the power of massages) as she expertly breaks down the relevant and complicated financial jargons and also advises us youths on how to start making simple money moves for the ka-ching. 

We loved having you Michelle, and do tune in to her financial platform, Her Duit for more digestible finance tips!

#sambalpedas Interlude

The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, 1902 - Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z17PfxT0Ns

#sembangsambal is a online discourse series which will be held monthly to create a platform to our fellow anak muda to give their opinions and thoughts on local issues that is happening in the Malaysian landscape. Our aim is to create solution makers in youths to train them to be able to think critically and think of actions of impact and of what they can do within their power instead of just identifying these issues alone.

Our first episode is Public vs Private universities and without keep you waiting we're revealing our panellist to keep our spicy conversations flowing.

Representing Public Universities, #sembangsambal presents you, Umaa Maheswari A/P Kunasegaran from Universiti Putra Malaysia and Nurul Hidayanie Binti Abdul Rashid from Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. Not forgetting the panellist to represent private universities are Durga Devi A/P Arasu from Tunku Abdul Rahman University College and Malcolm Wong Jun Xiang from Xiamen University Malaysia.

Does rape culture only mean the act of raping people?

What is the impact on Malaysia a year after the viral Ain Husniza's issue?

The million dollar question: Who should we thrust the blame in rape and sexual harassment cases?

Why is this even a big issue, just go report then it's settled kan?

Tune in as we speak to Ain Aissa from Speak to Speak as she passionately shares about the heartbreaking reality of rape culture in Malaysia especially in our schools and how you can do your part in fighting this through their programme, Kita Untuk Semua.

Oh we went on a whole roller coaster ride this time! Having a chance to get a local travel and culture podcast, The Teh Chat on this episode was indeed mindblowing as we explored about travelling in the post-pandemic (get ready to pack your bags!) and the existence of culture and whether it still holds a huge impact in your life?

You'll never know till you tune in! 

Thank you Farwina Faroque, Founder of The Teh Chat (whom we fondly call as Kak Wina!) for joining us this time. Loved having you!
