The stories we covered today:
5. New research by British scientists have found that older trees are just as capable as young trees in absorbing planet-warming emissions, which spells out great implications in the way we manage and preserve our forests. We speak to ESG lawyer, Abhilaash Subramaniam, for his thoughts on what this means in the Malaysian forestry landscape.
4. Tourism Malaysia is turning its sights to "dark tourism" in an effort to diversify and expand the appeal of our tourism offerings. We hear thoughts on the idea of dark tourism from Hannah Pearson, founder of Pear Anderson as well as Nigel Wong, President of the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents.
3. Undocumented Bajau Laut and Suluk communities are under fire again, after reports that fifteen homes were demolished in another operation led by the Sabah Parks and District office. We reached out to Borneo Komrad manager Wan Shakila for comment.
2. Kelantan has been experiencing a prolonged dry spell for months, and it's affecting rice yields in the state. Nurfitri Amir Muhammad, the secretary of Pertubuhan Persaudaraan Pesawah Malaysia shares his insight on this situation.
1. Current KL Mayor Datuk Seri Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh is about to end his tenure soon, so talks and speculations of a new appointed mayor has been going around. We get into this with Aira Azhari, Senior Manager of IDEAS.
