Teh Halia PodcastShould Malaysia Cut Ties with North Korea?Caught in the middle of a North Korean assassination, Malaysia has been accused of colluding with the enemies of the Great Leader and not being impartial in handling the Kim Jong Nam case.
As suspects are being hunted and fingers are pointed left and right, should Malaysia reconsider its so-called “special relationship” with North Korea?2017-03-0330 minTeh Halia PodcastBabies For SaleAn investigative documentary recently shed light on organised baby selling in Malaysia.

Listen in as we talk about the baby selling controversy in Malaysia, the motivations of child sellers as well as the complexity of child trafficking. Let us know how you feel about this entire fiasco in the comments!

Were you shocked? Scared? Unsurprised? Amused? And what could this mean for us here in Malaysia?
Does this really mean that some of us can't visit Trumpland? Will he really do the things that he said he would do during the campaign? He wouldn't be allowed to... Right?
Listen in as Teh Halia reacts to the results of the US election, and we try our best to wrap our heads around the phrase - 'President Trump'

Imagine watching the next potential Malaysian PM duking it out (oral-style) with the Opposition leader on huge live televised event? Does the idea excite or scare you? The recent Presidential Debates going on with Trump and Hillary made us think, would something similar work here in Malaysia? What would be the benefits? The potential risk? This week Aiman, Aiman, Darimi and special guest host Afifah clashed their ideas and debated on whether or not would these debate work.
Enjoy the episode!

Seems like everyone these days is leaving their “boring” jobs to join the Entrepreneur Club.
This week Teh Halia asks - why? What makes these guys and girls so special? And is it “okay” to be happy not wanting to risk it all on your new idea for self-toasting kaya bread?
Inspired by a Quartz article titled "Entrepreneurs don't have a special gene for risk - they come from families with money"

Teh Halia PodcastShould Richard Huckle be Labeled a Monster?Episode 14
Should Richard Huckle be labeled a monster?
Today Teh Halia tackles one of the most difficult and heartbreaking stories to ever surface in Malaysia. Dozens of our nation's kids were violated, and it took years - years! - for the perpetrator to be brought to justice.
But while Huckle's acts were despicable, unspeakable and unforgivable, is labeling him as a monster really doing justice to his victims? Is it enough to stick this man in jail and throw away the key? What made him into the creature he is today?
Listen in as Teh Halia tries to give you a...2016-06-2137 min
Teh Halia PodcastPolitalk - NeoliberalismEpisode 13
This week, Teh Halia, spurred by an excellent article shared by a great friend of the podcast, Mohani Niza, talks about something that Malaysians sometimes hear about, but may not be entirely familiar with (even though it's shaped all of our lives immeasurably!) - neoliberalism!
It's not always clear what neoliberalism means - to some people, it's the promise of freedom and opportunity, to others, the very definition of inequality and oppression. We talk a little bit about its origins, its status today and how Malaysia - and the world - would be a very, very different place without...2016-06-1422 minTeh Halia PodcastWhat Happened to Harambe?Episode 12
Your 4-year-old kid falls into a gorilla cage. What do you do?
This week Teh Halia talks about the event that gripped the internet - the Cincinnati Zoo incident, and of the late gorilla called Harambe.
We ask who's to blame, who should be put in jail and what we would have done if we had a gun, and a choice between saving a human or the last gorilla on earth.

Donald Trump for President!! ... Or not?
This week Teh Halia deals with the American election's biggest news yet. Everyone's favourite candidate / giant oompa loompa, the Donald himself has won enough to win the Republican nomination for President of the United States of America!

Teh Halia PodcastIs It Racist to Hate Durians?Teh Halia Kurang Manis 07
This week, Teh Halia gets outraged as we tackle an issue near and dear to Malaysian hearts - durians!
We talk about an article featured on Project Ava on how Buzzfeed's "People Try Durian (The Smelliest Fruit In The World)" video is, well, can be seen as pretty darn racist.
Some people weren't happy that our beloved durian was featured as less-than-perfect. Some people were even less happy that they were all not very familiar with the very special place durian has in our hearts - and stomachs!
So what happens when cultures meet in a hyper...2016-05-2618 min

Teh Halia PodcastShould We Be Sad That Prince Died?Episode 09
This week Teh Halia asks the question - do you need to be a ‘real’ fan to mourn the death of a celebrity?
We’ve all seen a lot this week about Prince - musical genius, pioneer, performer extraordinaire. But how many of us really knew Prince? Or are most people, like us, vaguely aware that he exists, and that he’s ‘good’?
We talk about ‘old’ fans versus ‘new’ fans, ‘plastic’ fans versus the ‘real’ followers. Who deserves to grieve, and who needs to just shut up and let the actual fans have their moment?

If you were shipwrecked on an island with a group of people, and you could choose your own type of government, what would you pick? Democracy? Republic? Monarchy? Anarchy?
This week, the Teh Halia Crew grapples with a question that human society has tried to answer for centuries - is it possible to trust someone else to make the laws that you are compelled to obey?
