Yodhin sits down with Roshan Miranda, a social entrepreneur at Petronas, activist, candidate of Masters of Public Policy at University Malaya.    Roshan's thesis focuses on a Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) between CSOs, NGOs and the Federal Govt to reduce and prevent suicides in Malaysia. He's taken inspiration of this framework from foreign countries and argues for a trial basis to be done in Malaysia.    The RFA essentially details the 4W 1H on these two fundamentally different groups can work together to achieve mutual goals and objectives in an effective and accountable way.    They discuss the feasibility and even examples of how this can be implemented. 

Visvamba and Yodhin had an extensive chat on what could be the new generation of the internet, web 3.0. Web 3.0 fundamentally expands the scale & scope of both human and machine interactions far beyond what we can imagine today. These interactions, ranging from seamless payments to richer information flows, to trusted data transfers, will become possible with a vastly increased range of potential counterparties.    They discuss the pros and cons of Web 3.0 and whether we should welcome this change. 

Visvamba and Yodhin have returned from slumber and have decided to take a look back over the course of the year 2021 and reflect upon key incidents and events in Malaysian Politics. They give their rating of the year and even maybe discuss their expectations of what we could expect.

Visvamba and Yodhin sit down with Ashaari, Harun Idris' grandson to help shed some light and share alternative point of views on the life and career of Harun Idris himself.  Harun Idris was a well respected politician and leader within UMNO and is famously known as the one who "instigated" the May 13 riots, which left more than 180 people dead.  Ashaari shares many detailed accounts, which includes his various interviews with leaders, such as Tun Dr. Mahathir, Musa Hitam that actually paint a very different image than what the general public understand about Harun Idris. He shares accounts of the Opposition leader at the time of the riots, Chee Koon stating that he was not responsible and even other anecdotes from people claiming that he was a very welcoming and fair man. Ashaari's mother is even of Chinese descent. Join the three of us and get a clearer and more rounded picture of Harun Idris.  

Visvamba and Yodhin discuss Mahiaddin's announcement on the vote of confidence that's due to happen when Parliament resumes in September 6th. With many UMNO MPs and Ministers resigning, its quite clear that he does not have a majority. However, hes bought himself about 1 month to get it.  We discuss some possible outcomes and our opinions on the matter. Share with us what you think could likely occur. Will there be a unity government? Will Mahiaddin get away with it? Will Pakatan get its chance?  Let's see how the tables will turn.

Visvamba & Yodhin speak on the recent treachery highlighted in the recent parliament session, from the 26th to 29th July 2021. Law minister, Takiyuddin Hassan and Attonery General, Idris Harun and our beloved Prime Minister, Mahiaddin has ensued a tussle with the YDPA. The emergency ordinances debacle and constitutional contention is the subject of the conflict between the parties. Essentially, the battle of PDFs or he said, she said had begun. Tune in to find out what exactly are they talking about.

Visvamba and Yodhin discuss UMNO withdrawing support for Perikatan Nasional and the upcoming 5 day Parliamentary session on beginning on the 26th of July. With UMNO leaving the fold of Perikatan Nasional, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin certainly does not have the numbers.  What could the possible outcomes be from this session? Join us in this episode as we explore some possible outcomes.

A short segment breaking down the news of the week. We decided to speak about the current effectiveness of the Emergency or "Darurat" thats been enacted since January 2021, which is slated to end in August 2021.   Key political leaders met with the YDP Agong over the course of the previous week to discuss possible solutions to maintain political, national stability while overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic as soon as possible.   The country is at a breaking point; and we need smarter and faster solutions.

In conjunction with World Environment Day, Visvamba and Yodhin take a deep dive into understanding Malaysia's improving track record in producing sustainable palm oil, but is it actually sustainable? While deforestation may be slowing down on a national scale, there are growing concerns surrounding labor conditions at plantations.   We discuss the global pressures and standards imposed on Malaysia in ensuring that sustainable palm oil is met, but are these standards unrealistic and unfair to many small land holders which contribute a huge proportion of palm oil supply.   Listen to the full episode here. Happy World Environment Day. #7DAYSFORCLIMATE #CLIMATEKITA
