From National Service to Community Service? | Breaking Down the Issues
Launched in 2002 and scraped in 2018, Malaysia's national service programme was different from most other countries: its purpose was not for national defence, but for national unity.
What if it can be revived? Not in its original form, but in a format which actually provides service to the community in which these students lived?
This video examines just that idea.

What went wrong with Malaysia's national education system? | BREAKING DOWN THE ISSUES
The education system is now more fractured than ever, divided by race and religion, and the “haves” and the “have-nots”. The quality of teachers produced by the teacher training colleges is in question and the discriminatory nature is causing resentment, made worse by those in power who use the minority as scapegoats.

How We Can Fix Malaysia's National Education System | BREAKING DOWN THE ISSUES
Malaysia is not short on experts in the field of education, so the question is, how can we ensure our elected representatives take on their recommendations to improve national school and therefore, the prospects of our young people.
This is the second of two Breaking Down the Issues episodes focusing on education - the first explored the history of schooling in our country and how we arrived at a situation where the schooling system is more fractured than ever with growing division between the haves and have nots and races and religions.

Statistics now confirm what we’ve been suspecting - that the Covid-19 pandemic and attempts to contain it have pushed hundreds of thousands of Malaysians into poverty. At the same time, the percentage of wealth owned by the shrinking T20 has increased. How have we addressed poverty in the past and will the same methods work in the future?
