The property market is in focus today as we speak to a leading real estate technology company that operates real estate portals across South East Asia. Launched in 2014 as 99.co, our guest 99 Group was conceived during the 2008 US mortgage subprime crisis, an event which the firm believed was “born out of desire and misinformation”. The founding team at 99 Group hence made it a point to make the company into a simple and trusted platform to un-complicated the property journey. This can be seen in the firm’s positioning strategy, where it aims to differentiate itself from other property search websites through its user-friendly designs, with features including price analysis data, finance planners, smart filters, as well as the ability to search by map or commute time. Fast forward to today, 99 Group is said to be one of the fastest growing property portal firms in the region, with a presence in both Singapore and Indonesia. The group is said to specialise in digital property advertising and has a portfolio of three brands: namely its flagship 99.co property portal and SRX.com.sg right here in Singapore, as well as 99.co/id and Rumah 123 in Indonesia. So far, 99 Group said it has achieved what it described as solid growth, with revenues of US$17 million recorded for 2023, a CAGR of 47% since 2019. But what are the key trends the firm is capitalising on to take it forward and which are the markets with the biggest potential in the region? And what are the challenges for proptech firms even as Southeast Asia rises as a hotbed for property technology or proptech innovation? Meanwhile, the ongoing narrative about interest rates in the region continues to weigh on home buyers’ and investors' minds. So how far has this influenced the types of listings that appear on 99 Group’s platforms and how is the firm attracting and showing the right listings to its consumers to increase retention and action? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Darius Mahtani Cheung, Founder and CEO, 99 Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've read his work (or you should); this awesome guy has been pumping out informative weekly history columns (and now YouTube videos) for close to a decade. His name is Han Cheung (learn how to pronounce that by listening to this interview), and he went from being one of the only Asian-Americans in a small town in Wyoming - where he wrote for a local newspaper about the history of that state's Wild West era - to returning to his parents' adopted home of Taiwan to write "Taiwan in Time." It's been quite a journey for Han, and in this interview, we talk about everything from history to "slow death metal" with half-Cantonese lyrics. Enjoy! PS: Sorry for the delay in release. Eryk caught some covid-adjacent flu and was unable to move. Gratefully, Eryk is feeling better, but Eryk is still referring to himself in the third person, which history shows isn't such a good idea.

An open access Asia Shorts edited volume from AAS. The spring of 2020 will remain etched in collective memory as a moment of profound upheaval. The COVID-19 pandemic forced schools and universities around the world to close their doors, reshaping education overnight. Teachers scrambled to reimagine their classrooms in online spaces, while students adjusted to a new, distanced reality. For educators of Asia-related topics, these shifts carried unique challenges. Already marginalized within English-speaking curricula, Asia's place in classrooms faced further reductions amidst the chaos of pandemic adaptation. Recognizing this, our Asia Shorts volume, Teaching about Asia in a Time of Pandemic (AAS, 2025), was conceived as a timely response, offering guidance and inspiration during those uncertain times. Almost five years later, the world has moved forward, but the ripple effects of that historic spring are still felt. This supplemental set of open-access essays, edited by Kin Cheung (Associate Professor of East and South Asian Religions at Moravian University) builds upon the foundation of the original volume, reflecting on the enduring impacts of the pandemic on education, equity, and how we teach about Asia. One lasting consequence of the pandemic has been the rise in anti-Asian racism. Harassment and violence against Asians, fueled by pandemic-related scapegoating and xenophobic rhetoric, surged globally. In the United States, inflammatory phrases such as “China virus” and “kung flu” further stigmatized Asian communities, exacerbating a wave of hostility. Educators now face the challenge of addressing these injustices while fostering inclusive, empathetic learning environments. The essays in this collection delve into the pedagogical responses to anti-Asian racism, advocating for teaching frameworks that prioritize social justice and counteract harmful stereotypes and complement the important work of the scholars whose work appears in our recent Asia Shorts volume, Global Anti-Asian Racism, edited by Jennifer Ho. Another critical dimension explored in this volume is the necessity of representation. Asian Americans remain underrepresented in both the teaching workforce and teacher education programs, leading to a curriculum that often overlooks the rich cultural and linguistic assets of Asian students and their families. This gap underscores the importance of preparing teachers to adopt culturally responsive practices, ensuring that all students—especially Asian American learners—feel seen and valued in the classroom. These essays also challenge educators to move beyond surface-level engagement with Asia. A case in point is the life and legacy of Grace Lee Boggs, an Asian American activist whose story offers rich insights into the intersections of race, gender, and political activism. By teaching figures like Boggs through an antiracist, transnational lens, students can develop a deeper, more empathetic understanding of complex historical narratives. This approach not only enriches their knowledge of Asia and its diasporas but also equips them with critical tools to navigate and challenge systemic inequities in their own societies.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  It's a day to celebrate! We discuss the legend Maggie Cheung! Our B-Sides include Lost Romance (a.k.a. Story of Rose), Full Moon in New York, Green Snake, and Sausalito. Our esteemed guest for this episode is Nick Newman, host of the Emulsion podcast for The Film Stage. We talk about the Hong Kong New Wave, Maggie's aborted performance in Inglourious Basterds, the true B-Sidey-Ness of Sausalito, and Maggie Cheung's brief, lovely, recent Sight and Sound interview. There's also Nick's Sight and Sound List, that GQ piece, Julia Ormond's tackling a famous Audrey Hepburn role, and Nick's great interview with filmmaker Olivier Assayas back in 2022. By 2004, at the young age of forty, Cheung retired from acting. Her legacy has only cemented further in the decades since her final films, something we discuss in this episode as well.

In the first half, guest host Rich Berra (email) welcomed modern mystic and best-selling author Theresa Cheung, who shared her insights on the significance of dreams. Cheung revealed her fascination with dreams originated in childhood within a family of psychics, admitting that she's "always been a vivid dreamer."When discussing the structure and purpose of dreams, Cheung explained, "They are mostly symbolic... your unconscious intuition has noticed things during the day that matter for your growth." She urged listeners not to dismiss dreams as meaningless or irrelevant but to reflect on them as valuable messages from the self. "They are a little bit like an inbuilt therapist," she explained. "If you have a recurring dream, it's like tough love... Your dreaming mind is trying to get a point across to you."Addressing a common dream for many about a partner's infidelity, Cheung encouraged exploration rather than panic. "Most of the time, you are dreaming about your own mindset... Look at what you're cheating yourself out of," she explained. Cheung urged individuals to view dreams through a creative lens: "Think of it as a poem that needs to be interpreted personally... Dreams do not lie, but they do challenge you."Cheung asserted that dream work should be more integral within the educational system. "Children should be taught to understand their dreams... it could dramatically decrease crime and depression," she claimed. She also encouraged listeners to embrace their own intuitive powers, saying, "You are a mystery... and that needs to be explored and discovered."As Cheung says, "Dreams are telling you all those things for you to discover for yourself."---------------------In the second half, David Samuels, the editor of County Highway, explored the rise of conspiracy theories in contemporary society and their detrimental effect on public trust. He pointed to the rumors swirling around during the COVID-19 pandemic as a prime example, remarking, "COVID did more to destroy public trust in institutions than any other single event of my lifetime."Samuels highlighted the stark decline in society's trust in the media, mentioning it has plummeted from over 50% to a mere 22%. He also insisted on having a critical mindset in today's information-saturated world, stating, "You got to kind of question everything in this day and age."The conversation touched on the origin of the term "conspiracy theory." Samuels explained that its roots are found in the Warren Commission report following President Kennedy's assassination. According to him, "This country is founded on a conspiracy theory," noting that the American revolution was sparked by the perceived tyranny of King George III.Samuels also elaborated on the human tendency to connect patterns, saying that "our brains are pattern finding machines." He claimed this innate desire to make connections can lead to both meaningful understanding and the spread of unfounded beliefs. Samuels pointed out that with the advent of the digital revolution, the accessibility for anyone to share their thoughts creates a fertile ground for conspiracy theories to flourish. "I wonder if I just told you I was going to start a conspiracy theory, how quickly would it catch fire over the internet?" he pondered.

THIS WEEK: Home Sweet Home (2005), Dog Bite Dog (2006), and Motorway (2012)A generous patron's request brings us back to Hong Kong to look at a more contemporary side of the HK action-industrial complex via the films of Soi Cheung. Unfortunately, Jack has returned from his sabbatical, and decided he'd rather spend the week mired in the soapy melodrama of Cheung's early career. We vow to rectify this injustice very soon.Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon
