The Sambal Pod

Nope you are not alone in this matter and WHY IS THAT?

Lets hear what our team has to say about this!

The Sambal Pod is a youth initiative and one of the work we do are podcasts! #sambalpodcasts is a podcast series focusing on Malaysian youth stories that we can learn from and the best part, its a platform open for all of you ANAK MUDA Malaysia to share your stories! This is a safe space for you to speak on any issues so feel free to reach out to us at Instagram(@thesambalpod) or email us at [email protected] if you wish to share your stories to the world! 

Heyyy! So proud to release our another NEW podcast series, #SAMBALCARES highlighting the recent social issues in Malaysia. This is a place where our co-hosts Reen and K discuss and rant on the recent issues and we all can do about it! In this episode, we spoke about #penjarakanneelofa case and how Reen feels our local MCO is only focused on ONE specific class. What do you guys think about that? Tune in to listen more!

#SAMBALCARES is a platform for all the anak muda of Malaysia, it's a safe space for you so feel free to DM us on issues you wish for us to speak about anytime at Instagram(@thesambalpod) or email us at [email protected]

Three youths, three questions...what is happening in schools today? Period Spotchecks? Rape Jokes? Cn we trust our teachers today?

Tune in to a very intimate project where we had sporting Mums sharing their concerns and opinions.

It is very possible to change.. and very possible to have conversations like this no matter how taboo the topic is. May this episode give you the push both parents and children need to have conversations like this.

We stand with Ain and the #makeschoolsasaferplace movement. Talking is the first step to change.

And thank you to Bulan Sisters for coming onboard with us for this project! We salute the courage of these youths and their mothers too...terima kasih Malaysia!

A huge shout out to Priya from India for volunteering to come on the pod. Yes guys, we have international listeners too and it is an honour to know that! The Sambal Pod is a safe space for all youths(especially our anak muda Malaysia! Nak sembang dalam Melayu pun onzzz)to share your stories and insights on youth based issues! For more details, email us at [email protected] or get to know more about our work on Instagram(@thesambalpod).

In this episode, we talked about the thing WE ALL HATE, FAILURES! Why are we so scared of them? Do we dwell too much on them till its unnecessarily time consuming? Are we actually more sacred of the actual downfall or on how mak cik bawangsss(society) will look at us after that?

Tune in and listen lah to know more!

"My parents will never understand me arghhhh" 

"My parents are so lame oh my gawddd"

"We are youths with voices too you know"

Hmmm...I think we all are no stranger to these things. With dealing with individuals from different generations like parents, colleagues and anyone around us, having differences are normal. They were born in a different time with different struggles and experiences.

The question is how can we use this differences to our utmost benefit? Or is even a thing like that possible without getting into arguments?(especially in our strict Asian families)

Mai pi dengar la kalau nak tahu!

Heyyyyy alll...I know we just released an episode the usual fortnight ago but I suddenly miss yall haha! This is one of my fav conversations so far cause one, it didn't go as planned cause the initial intention was to just talk about body shaming but we also swayed a little and we spoke about how society perceives races and appearances and basically on how it is SO HARD in today's world to give yourself the greatest gift, acceptance!

Plastic surgery is good or bad? Tune in to find out!
