So, what's the deal with Timah Whiskey? How can a name cause such a furore? Even A member of Parliament (MP) had likened drinking Timah whiskey to drinking a Malay woman, which is a ridiculous statement to most of us.

In today's discussion, we have local comedian Papi Zak and journalist Zan Azlee to talk about the issue that is really a non-issue that is TIMAH WHISKEY!

As Malaysians, we take pride in being a multiracial country, and we all know friends in interracial marriages. Unfortunately, we also hear a lot of stories about how some people still stare with sheer curiosity or even make unsavoury remarks about interracial couples, or even worse, parents who won't allow their children to marry someone from another race.

So, how much of a taboo is interracial marriage still? What challenges are there when marrying someone from another race? And, what should we know about interracial marriages?

In today's discussion, JD has a chat with presenter, actor and emcee, Nazrudin Rahman and his wife, Sheahnee Iman Lee, as they share their personal take on interracial marriages; from their various challenges to how best to navigate it.

More than 1,000 Malaysian schoolchildren have been infected by Covid-19 since the third wave of the outbreak and because of that, the government has put a stop to all in-person classes. How effective are online classes? What kinds of life lessons are our children missing out on?

Today, we have Chui Kean Phang, a Parenting & Teacher Trainer, to help us understand what's happening with our children's education during this pandemic.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men, yet many of us don't know much about it. It's understandable as it's quite an uncomfortable topic to talk about but talk about it we must. How much do you know? Do you know how to check whether you have testicular cancer? Is masturbation a good thing?

Well in today's discussion, we will put Dr. George Lee, Consultant Urological Surgeon at Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur, or better known as Dr G on the spot as he answers all these questions and more.

With the rise of technology came the decline of reading. Have we taken notice of how many people are on their phones versus how many people are reading books?

So how do we bring reading back again?

In today's discussions, JD chats with Honey Ahmad & Diana Yeong, founders of Two Book Nerds Talking, a podcast that aims to encourage people to start reading and also create a community where people can share their passion for reading.

How well do we know their legal rights? What should you do when you are approached by the police? Can they just enter your house?

We got Legal Associate, Kee Hui Yee to answer those questions today. Let's strap in as we learn about our legal rights as Malaysians.

In Malaysia, thousands of businesses have been shuttered or badly affected and many have lost their jobs, incomes, and loved ones to the Covid-19 pandemic, with seemingly little to no help or silver lining in sight.

In response to this, netizens have taken to social media to start the #WhiteFlag or #BenderaPutih movement, calling on those in need of assistance to raise a white flag outside their homes.  

Inspired by this, Ma-Kasih was founded. Ma-Kasih is a platform where the volunteer and the people who are in need of help can connect. The objective is to ease the burden for those whose suffering due to these trying times.  

In this discussion, JD chats with Faiz Rahman (Business Op), Lim Khai Xi (Tech & Co-Founder) and Peh Zheng Yan(Tech & Co-Founder) as they explain why they started this and what is the key objective for this platform.

We’ve seen the white flag movement. We’ve seen businesses closing down and I'm sure a lot of us know of someone who’s having a hard time financially or you yourself might be caught in debt. Well then, this discussion is for you.

We caught up with financial planner, Pauline Teoh to talk about debts and how you could overcome them.
