Recently, Cameron Highlands MP and the Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, Dato' Dr. Ramli bin Dato' Mohd Nor, proposed to place Orang Asli matters under the Federal Constitution's Concurrent List, which would give both federal and state governments legislative authority over these issues. The Malaysian Bar had some concerns about this, arguing that the federal government already has sufficient powers to address Orang Asli concerns, particularly land ownership, and that moving these matters to the Concurrent List could lead to confusion, disputes, and administrative delays. To better understand these issues, we speak to Seira Sacha Abu Bakar, the Chairperson of the Bar Council Committee on Orang Asli Rights, who will also share the challenges Orang Asli communities have faced in securing their land rights, and how development projects, such as logging, plantations, or infrastructure have impacted Orang Asli land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Di tahun 1922, sebuah aksi mogok dilakukan oleh para pegawai pegadaian Ngupasan, Yogyakarta. Mereka memprotes karena gaji mereka diturunkan, sementara mereka juga harus mengerjakan “pekerjaan-pekerjaan kuli”. Pegawai yang tak terima dan memprotes, justru tak dihiraukan dan malah dipecat. Aksi mogok ini didukung oleh hampir semua organisasi dan partai politik, termasuk oleh Boedi Oetomo. Dukungan Boedi Oetomo ini menarik karena organisasi ini kerap dipandang cenderung moderat dan menggunakan taktik yang kooperatif. Tidak heran banyak penulis yang menyebut ini adalah tonggak menjadi radikalnya Boedi Oetomo, tentu saja dalam konteks sikap frontal mendukung perjuangan kemerdekaan. Sikap keras juga ditunjukkan oleh wakil-wakil Boedi Oetomo di Volksraad atau Dewan Rakyat. Mereka mencela tindakan keras pemerintah yang memecat ratusan pemogok. Tak perlu diragukan lagi bahwa Boedi Oetomo telah berbelok ke jalan revolusioner. Jalan revolusioner Boedi Oetomo ini tak lepas dari konflik antara kelompok tua dan kelompok muda di organisasi itu. Para pemuda mendesak organisasi itu menempuh politik kerakyatan. Meski mendapatkan tentangan dari kelompok tua, Boedi Oetomo yang didirikan salah satunya oleh dr. Soetomo ini akhirnya bergerak menjadi frontal secara politik. Setelah Soetomo kembali bergabung sepulang dari Belanda, gerakan inilah yang di kemudian hari melahirkan sebuah partai politik legendaris di Indonesia. Mari sambut: Partai Indonesia Raya!
The situation of specialists in Malaysia's healthcare system has been in the spotlight over the last few months.

We sit down with Minister of Health Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad to clarify what these amendments mean for the parallel pathway programme, and to address various concerns, including the quality of the training programmes.Photo by Souldinero, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons

In May, it was reported that Malaysia was two-seats from having women make up at least 30% of board members among the top 100 public-listed companies.Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri told the Dewan Rakyat that women accounted for 29.7% of directors in these companies, which was a significant improvement from 2016, when only 14% of companies had a minimum of 30% of women on their boards.Now while it seems like Malaysia is making progress on this front, there are still plenty of biases and challenges women business leaders deal with that differ from their male counterparts in the predominantly male workforce and leadership structure.Today on Raise Your Game, we explore the unique challenges faced by women leaders and ways to possibly manage them, including women-centric communities, mentorship programs, and common mistakes that are easily avoidable when trying to bring more women back into the workforce and senior leadership.
Over the weekend, Muar MP Syed Saddiq announced that he will be a third force opposition as a sign of protest against the dropping of 47 charges against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in the corruption trial.

The Federal Constitution states the King has the discretion to appoint as prime minister the person he feels is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Dewan Rakyat and can act at his discretion.

Road to GE is a show that explores your power in deciding who serves you in government. Langkah Sheraton came as a shock.
