Guest: Jay Jay Denis, Press Secretary to the Selangor Menteri Besar
Selangor MB Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari says only MBPJ opposes the new Smart Parking System (SIP), which he argues is needed to fix the state’s 70% parking fee collection shortfall. We asked his press secretary Jay Jay Denis whether the state considered strengthening council capacity instead of outsourcing—and why a model previously scrapped over financial losses is now back on the table.
Other stories we covered:
• Thai-Cambodia conflict turns violent: Thailand launched airstrikes while Cambodia responded with rockets, deepening a territorial dispute now before the UN Security Council. We asked Greg Raymond, Senior Lecturer at the Australian National University, what triggered the escalation, and what ASEAN’s role could realistically be.
• Doctor in Penang arrested for sexual harassment: A doctor under investigation for the fourth time is accused of groping a patient during a consultation at a private clinic. We asked Christal Wong, Medico-Legal and Healthcare Lawyer, what legal or regulatory mechanisms exist to revoke licenses and protect future patients.
• Employers still failing to support women: A new World Bank report finds most Malaysian employers agree women boost productivity—but few offer childcare or flexible work, especially in construction and manufacturing. We asked Dr Matthew Dornan, Senior Economist with the Social Protection and Jobs Global Practice at the World Bank, how these findings affect Malaysia’s economic and gender equality goals.
• Mid-air brawl on KL–Chengdu flight: A noise complaint during a dimmed cabin turned into punches, insults and chaos at 35,000 feet—captured on video by fellow passengers. Cabin crew intervened, and police met the flight on arrival, but we ask: when does disruptive behaviour in the air become a safety concern?
