The changing political dynamics at the federal government have led to renewed attention on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and what Sabah & Sarawak are entitled to under the historic deal. A key contention is whether the MA63 grants Sabah and Sarawak a right to hold 35% of seats in Parliament. We'll hear both sides of the argument today from two prominent academics that have commented extensively on the issue - Dr. James Chin of the University of Tasmania & Dr. Wong Chin Huat of Sunway University.Image Credit: Labor Studio / Shutterstock.com
We speak to Professor Sibrandes Poppema, the President of Sunway University, to discuss a pivotal year for the university as it hosts its third major academic gathering of 2024, the AppliedHE Xchange - Recognising Excellence, Diversity and Impact.

Professor Poppema will also share insights into what sets the AppliedHE Xchange apart and how it aims to foster inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation across Southeast Asia's higher education landscape.
Malaysia is home to ten hornbill species, who play vital roles in preserving the delicate balance of our natural ecosystems. But these beautiful and iconic birds face threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and also suffer from the effects of climate change. We explore how conservation efforts - driven by science and community involvement - are giving hornbills a fighting chance in Malaysia's rainforests. Joining us are wildlife researcher Dr. Ravinder Kaur (Wildlife Researcher, CoFounder, xploregaia, Scientific Director, GAIA and a lecturer at Sunway University) and Dr. Hjh Yatela Zainal Abidin (CEO, Sime Darby Foundation) to share insights into the challenges and triumphs of conserving these magnificent creatures, the vital role hornbills play in the ecosystem, and the groundbreaking efforts being made to protect their habitats.

The Asian Financial Crisis of the late 1990s prompted Malaysia to implement a series of reforms aimed at fortifying its financial institutions. One of the most prominent measures taken was the consolidation of the banking sector, leading to a reduction in the number of domestic commercial banks from 22 to just 10 by the year 2002. While the goal was to create stability and strength within the financial industry, it introduced a new set of challenges, particularly for the country's SMEs. The pivotal question that arises is: After more than 2 decades, how has this banking consolidation impacted the ability of SMEs in Malaysia to secure capital? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Professor Woo Wing Thye, Vice-President for Asia at the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He also heads the ASIA headquarters of SDSN, hosted by the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation at Sunway University, where he is a research professor.

Pemandu's Dato' Sri Idris Jala: The Leader Malaysia Could Have Had - But Didn't #Leadership #Turnaround #MAS #Proton #Malaysia PEMANDU's Dato' Sri Idris Jala - The Leader Malaysia Could Have Had - But Didn't Born in Sarawak as a devout Kelabit Christian, Dato' Sri Idris Jala wasn't meant to work at Shell for 23 years. Nor was he meant to head Malaysia Airlines, help Proton in its turnaround strategy, work as a former Minister in the Malaysian government, much less advise governments and global corporations in socioeconomic affairs as Chairman of PEMANDU Associates. And yet he did, thanks to a heady cocktail of destiny, faith and hard work, culminating in his current roles as Co-Chairman of Sunway, ProChancellor of Sunway University and Chairman of Heineken Malaysia, in between lecturing twice a year at Harvard University. Here, he talks to Khoo Hsu Chuang about Leadership, Fate, Faith and Serendipity, while proffering original and practical suggestions for Malaysia's woes. (Many thanks to the Asia School of Business for their collaboration with The Do More Podcast, in whose studio this conversation was recorded. The Asia School of Business is a partnership between MIT Sloan School of Management and Bank Negara Malaysia).

To match the breakneck speed of their progress, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have both initiated bold social reforms recently. In its drive to attract foreign talent, a condition for stronger competitiveness, the Emirates relaxed laws banning the cohabitation among unmarried couples and alcohol consumption. In Saudi Arabia, freedom for women to drive, and to decide whether to wear the hijab, have amounted to a break with past social practices, speeding up their integration into public and economic life. These changes, which are ushering in a more conducive social climate for realising ambitious development plans, go hand in hand with efforts to curb religious extremism. Meanwhile, in the two largest Muslim-majority nations of South-east Asia, Malaysia, and Indonesia have gone in the opposite direction: The recent general election in Malaysia bolstered Islamic parties significantly, while conservative Islamic agendas proliferate in the political life of Indonesia, leading to the adoption of a controversial new Penal Code seen as a setback for civil liberties. With local elections in Malaysia due later this year, and both parliamentary and local elections in Indonesia in 2024, the conservative trend may solidify. Are the two diverging tracks over political Islam and social liberties amounting to a chasm between Gulf reformers and South-east Asian conservatives? Will this divergence impact on political, business, and people-to-people ties between the two sides? These questions will be discussed by Dr. Mohammed Baharoon, Director General of B'huth think-tank in the UAE, Dr. Chin Huat Wong, political scientist at the Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development, Sunway University, Malaysia, and Dr. Muhammad Zulfikar Rakhmat, political scientist of Universitas Islam Indonesia, and research affiliate at MEI-NUS.
April 20th every year is the United Nations Chinese Language Day in recognition of the fact that it is the world's second most spoken language with over 1.1 billion speakers (English has some 1.12 billion). In Malaysia, the existence of vernacular schools that use Mandarin as a medium of instruction has been a topic of debate - does it help unite a multi-ethnic society or is it necessary to bring in much needed FDIs - or do these have to be mutually exclusive. Eddin Khoo, an author and senior fellow at ISIS as well as Wong Chin Huat, a political scientist and professor at Sunway University break down the issues.
Many large and well-established organisations have started to implement ESG into their business practices. But for SMEs, ESG adoption is relatively slower due factors like costs and many are still struggling with post-pandemic recovery. We speak to Cheah Kok Hoong, president of the ESG Association of Malaysia & adjunct professor at Sunway University, to understand the present level of ESG adoption among businesses and SMEs, and how to make more Malaysian businesses accept and implement ESG practices.Image Credit: Shutterstock | Blue Planet Studio
As GE15 heats up, both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan are vying for East Malaysia support by dangling the deputy prime minister position as an incentive.

"We wanted to create a status quo assessment of tourism and climate change in Asia, where research has been limited." This week's show tackles a white-hot issue for the travel industry: how to address carbon emissions and global heating. The impacts of climate change are all around us in South East Asia, with a recent report citing Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam as particularly vulnerable to climate risks. This week, Gary chats with Alexander Trupp, Associate Dean of Research & Postgraduate Studies at the School of Hospitality & Service Management, Sunway University in Malaysia. Alex is co-author of a new paper, called Tourism Under Climate Crisis in Asia: Impacts and Implications, published in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism. Alex sets out the facts and stats that show how urgent is the climate crisis across Asia, and discusses specific vulnerabilities for travel and tourism in each sub-region. He also addresses the collective efforts required to bring change, and initiatives being put in place by the tourism industry to transition toward more sustainable travel.

“If we're badly educated, we're not going to make it on this planet. If I had to put my finger on one Sustainable Development Goal above all else, it is let's empower young people so that they know the future. They know the world that they're going to be leading soon. They can do something about it…Specifically, target 4.7 which says that everybody should learn about sustainable development. Everybody should learn about global citizenship.If you're in elementary school up to university, you should be learning–What is climate change? What is biodiversity? What can we do about it?
