Guest: Aziff Azudin (Associate Researcher), IMAN Research
Cities across Malaysia feature neighbourhoods dominated by particular ethnic groups. We explore how these enclaves form, the social and political factors behind them, and what impact they have on ethnic relations, with insights from Aziff Azuddin, Associate Researcher at IMAN Research.
Other stories we covered:
• Kemas autism pre-schools across Malaysia: The government plans to set up pre-schools for autistic children in every state, aiming for greater access and affordability. Ng Lai Thin, Project Lead at the National Early Childhood Intervention Council, shares insights on rollout, curriculum, and inclusivity.
• KJ back to UMNO?: Former MP Khairy Jamaluddin may return to UMNO ahead of the Sabah elections, potentially contesting a key seat. We discuss the political strategy and implications with Dr Lau Zhe Wei, Associate Professor of Political Science at IIUM.
• Remembering conductor Mohd Yazid Zakaria: Yazid Zakaria’s contributions to Malaysian music extended beyond performance to mentorship and cultural preservation. Violinist Sherwin Thia and conductor Ahmad Muriz Che reflect on his influence
• The kids are 'shrekking': A new dating term, “shrekking,” describes dating someone below your standards in hopes of being treated well. We unpack the trend and its implications.
