From Hormuz to KL: How War in West Asia Hits Your Wallet

Tensions in West Asia are escalating, and the global economic impact could hit closer to home than many Malaysians realise. In this episode of Scoop Insight, Ipoh Timur MP Howard Lee Chuan How unpacks why Malaysia may appear stable on the surface, even as deeper economic vulnerabilities quietly build beneath. As pressure mounts around key global trade routes like the Strait of Hormuz, the risk of rising oil prices, disrupted shipping, and renewed inflation is becoming harder to ignore. These are not distant geopolitical concerns - they carry real consequences for Malaysia’s economy, from the cost of living and fuel prices to the strength of the ringgit, job security, and the resilience of local businesses. The conversation explores how a prolonged conflict could ripple across Southeast Asia, reshaping supply chains, increasing financial uncertainty, and testing how long governments can continue cushioning the impact through subsidies and policy measures. More importantly, what does this mean for you? As uncertainty grows, Malaysians may need to rethink how they spend, save, and plan ahead in a more volatile global environment. Is Malaysia truly prepared for what’s ahead, or are we simply not feeling the impact yet? Watch this episode for a clear, grounded look at the risks - and how to stay financially resilient in uncertain times. Host: Azim Idris Guest: YB Howard Lee

Are Kids Ready for Social Media? The Truth Behind the 'Under-16' Rule

Kids are going online earlier than ever—but are they actually ready for it? With Malaysia’s Online Safety Act 2025 (ONSA) now in force, major platforms are being held accountable for harmful content, with stricter protections for minors—including age verification measures for users under 16 and penalties of up to RM10 million for non-compliance. But this raises a deeper question: Why 16? Is this just policy—or is there real science behind it? In this episode of Scoop Insight, we speak to Clinical Psychologist K.C. Chiang, who brings over a decade of experience working with adolescents and families across issues like anxiety, emotional regulation, and behavioural challenges. Together, we unpack what’s really happening in a developing brain—and what happens when it collides with social media. Host: Shazmin Shamsuddin Guest: KC Chiang

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
