Malaysia is becoming increasingly polarised across racial and religious lines. And while the culture wars dominate political discourse, inequality is on the rise – the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen at an incredibly rapid pace.

On today's episode of '45 Mins With' we're joined by Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj, chairperson of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM). Dr Kumar believes that we’re so distracted by racial and religious sentiments, that we’re not talking about one of the biggest issues plaguing Malaysia right now – Transnational Capital and how we’re subservient to it.
