Top 5 At 5: On Potty Parity And Parallel Pathways

The stories we covered today include:

5. Popek Popek Parlimen, where we provide updates from the Dewan Rakyat. Today's session involved a white ribbon protest from Perikatan MPs over the bid by Bersatu to have the seats of 6 Bersatu MPs to be declared vacant. The MPs also discussed the government's latest proposal to bring in Singaporean teachers to teach English in our schools.

4. Minister of Housing and Local Government Nga Kor Ming recently proposed for there to be 10 female toilets for every 5 male toilets, to reduce the issue of long queues and crowded restrooms. We hear from Shuhana Shamsuddin, President of Pereka Bandar, for her thoughts on this suggestion.

3. Ipoh Town Hall is set to become a performing arts centre, as part of Ipoh's Heritage Tourism initiaitive that aims to preserve the cultural and economic vitality of the city’s heritage buildings. Peter Wong, an architect based in Ipoh, provides his thoughts on this.

2. The full judgement of the High Court's ruling that stateless persons can legally marry without having a Malaysian IC was released recently. We hear from constitutional lawyer New Sin Yew on how this impacts the lives of stateless persons.

1. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefy has presented proposed amendments for the Medical Act, aimed to address issues related to the parallel pathway specialist training program. For this, we speak to Professor Dr Rosmawati Mohamed, Master, Academy of Medicine Malaysia.
