Lower GDP, Chinese having less babies, TS Lim Kit Siang's birthday | Episode 12 

Can the admin of Are We OK include timestamps in the description? It is easier for some people who can't listen to the whole podcast to listen what is needed. I like Ong Kian Ming's explanation on Keluar Sekejap. Polite, calm, humble, simple and beneficial. Thank you.

The reason i always anticipate this podcast over others is due to the fact that other podcast that i heard, like to compare with old government. I find it odd because even if there some similarities, the situation always different. So why people love to simply compare against old gov? "Ini kalau government kita dulu da kena da ni" i mean, there a reason why they kena and why now people can tahan. That remarks makes the other podcast doesn't seem professional. What i like on this podcast is that both Peter n Kian Ming are looking how to improve onward. This is how we suppose to think, not comparing back to the old days when everyone know corruption is a big problem. Regarding the whatapp group, why dont Are We Okay have a whatapp group that can invite people inside and give their taught and discuss.

Yes to the live show!

I have this to say to the leader who does not know how to step down graciously: please ask your "Old Bean " for advice. I have always wondered if TSLKS ( Uncle Lim) was our PM, then Malaysia could have been more advanced, and more prosperous than Singapore and most importantly, Malaysia could really be transformed into Malaysia for All Malaysians. But that train has left. The least we can do now is to collect and study all the thoughts and visions of Uncle Lim for the benefit of our present generation and beyond.

I have no doubt that Malaysia will flourish and prosper it’s just that I would like to see Malaysia progress having taking into account the lessons learned from countries like Singapore, S Korea and Japan

Problems in school attendance also happened occur in small towns in Perak.

35:30 Singaporeans generally have high trust of their government. Not all their policy implementation method can be copy pasta in Msia

Reg Road Tax....With ICE vehicles road tax is broadly based on the Engine size. If the objective is to tax the rich, surely road tax should be based on the market value of each vehicle??? This again should be the basis for taxing EV's.

When is the post cast with other special guest? Invite Liew Chin Tong

The 5 recommendations to govt seemed so logical and simple, am sure ppl on cabinet knows it. How come so difficult to implement?

I like this yb mindset and opinion...especially about problem in city-outside area.

More babies? Might help if the following are available for parents-to-be who are both working:- 1) Subsidised baby,infant-care ,childcare and even before and after-school care services ; 2) 50% subsidies on baby food and baby products for those with fewer than three children . 3) More flexible working arrangements for working mothers. More annual leave? Feasible?

yes sg has those incentives for parents and babies but....the birth rate is getting lower!

Are we regressing as a nation? What is really the state of our country? How did we "lost it" along the way?

Loyal listener here, but can I please request for OKM to go closer to the mic? He seems to be mumbling at the end of the sentences at times, especially when he's a softer speaker compared to Peter. So the volume and clarity varies, not a pleasant listening experience especially when on Spotify. Just my experience. Hopefully it gets better. 👍🏻

The mic volume for OKM sounds softer, maybe need to put closer or speak louder?

To me LKS also another politician. Had told him personally my problem before but I was sort of brushed off by him.

On Swiftonomics - Any thoughts on remarks made by politicians from Thailand and Philippines? What do you think our gov and/or our rakyat (esp the rightwing conservatives) should do? And also what do you think of Malaysia as a sporting/concert/MICE venue?

Love this brilliant podcast ! Very informative and non bias :) As a malay I now like DAP on how it has reform from what I never wanted to know about and now interested about :)

Please.... No more policies. More policy announcements, more disappointment. Just implement what has been promised first.

Beras madani rm30/10kg. Beras tempatan sya beli rm27.50/10kg 😂

I think many Chinese in Msia had migrated to elsewhere to see the population reduced so much. With reduced Chinese ratio, the rights to retain vernacular Chinese schools should be reduced. The brain drain will only worsen. Spore already welcome these Msian Chinese and offer equal opportunities, why struggle to change Msia, which resist meritocracy. Spore decided to subsidize pre-school because they realized children from lower income group, had weak foundations when enrolling for primary schools. Spore education offer the best opportunities for their children. Think for your future generations. We migrated from China to SE Asia for our future generations.

Madani government must focus on Policies and their implementation rather than focus on politics. The new Agong has just set the tone. No Action, Talk Only.

Peter asked - what goes through a ministers mind? on 21.06. I would be tempted to reply "do they actually have a mind at all since they do not seem to be doing much thinking"

It will be great if you can interview Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang on your podcast

still no timestamps sigh...

The channel didnt take off like KS because there are some bias to it. Good luck.

Yes. Want. PJPAC

OKM speaks very soft. Mr Money is good

Hello Peter what is the meaning of *Suckasm*?

The biggest problem is Chinese parent prefer boys against girls. This will cause a massive problem. It is not gender equality that we are emphasize but a more balance society.

there are 3 races in Malaysia, Bangsa Malaya, Bangsa Sarawak and Bangsa Sabah.

Bullying is a disease of society - alas where is compassion and empathy?

When GDP is fell short of projected, would that means actual deficit would be larger than in the budget ??

Level Playing Field: In order to move forward and see improvement for all/most; we need allow ALL citizens to participate - when we start segregating people by race, location etc, it only reduces the pool of people who can take us to the next level or at least lessens the probability of finding Unicorns. In other words, segregation only reduces the opportunity this country has.

58:52 wow that’s a good segway out of the touchy scholarship issue 😬

keep up the good bias podcast

If I was a sponsor like Zeus Coffee,I won't be happy with all the name dropping of other company's products

I don't see how DAP can talk about level playing field when you have a larger number of MPs but given much significantly less of its member in the cabinet compared to the pathetic UMNO? Absolutely nuisance...

Thsnks forvthe updatevof policies ... mm2h.. can't somebody able to write to the responsible mistry to act???? And must followcod schedule or timeline

51:20 communities that have been in Malaysia for generations are still being labelled "pendatang". how is the country ever going to have an effective immigration policy?

My Swifty friend is started planning lor

I think the heading should have been ‘the educated minorities popping out less babies’ 😂

I don’t mind if DAP can fight for local Uni to be accessible. We have AI and all of the digital infra and I’m sure that can help in providing quality and scalable education. Being open should not be a zero sun game.

11:12

Hi from London 👋🏽

Late Karpal Singh who hold strong principles earned my respect more🫡….compare others…

❤

🤣 - aren't you forgotten last time our feizai paid Paris Hilton for private yacht dance party? exclusively for himself and his buddies only 10 years from now, West Malaysian can no longer laugh at East Malaysian

Many Malaysians might not have the opportunity to be acquainted with TS LKS in person , but we esteem him nonetheless for his untiring efforts in achieving a ‘Malaysian MALAYSIA’. Although this vision of his has often been challenged and thwarted by many politicians who don’t share his vision, we know he has done his best thus far. We salute him for his undauntedness . In disclosing what has been enshrined in the constitution, as recently as December 2023 about having a non Malay PM, he was reported and had to undergo police interrogations!! As long as the majority do not subscribe to TSLKS’s advocate of ‘ Malaysians’ Malaysia’, we know it is a futile attempt. However, his courage is again evident. Perhaps his only regret thus far was being conned by a former PM( 22y-22m) that the latter was ready for reforms in PRU14? Rest assured he was not alone! The one consolation is his party today is again a component of the government! Happy birthday to TSLKS . We hope we can continue to hear from him.

Tan Siri has a lot of his political influence from Singapore PAP. Kudos, imagine not splitting from SG, MY will be so much difference now.

Aiyaaaa, even without the grant, Taylor Swift also won’t perform in Malaysia lah, famous for the 1975 incident, only country in the world now with “kill switch” at every concert 😂

Do it at breathing space ss2

Singapore is always living rent free in his head.

Malaysia needs to replicate singaoore and bring in Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese and Indian skilled talent. Especially to places like penang and the future JSSEZ

1. EV - If EV motorcyclists continue to ride their bikes the way they do their IC bikes, promoting a shift to EV via EV bikes is going to lead to an increase in traffic fatalities / injuries since far more people can afford them compared to RM100K+ EV MVs and motorcyclists statistically make up the majority of traffic fatalities / injuries in Malaysia. Shouldn't the pivot to EV be focused on the lower priced MVs i.e. the Perodua class of vehicles which are arguably a safer from of transport than motorcycles? 2. Is it not odd to name Singapore as the country with the lowest birth rate when asked but you also trot out Singapore as having very good policies to support families having children? While better than not having any policies, the type of policies Singapore have adopted has clearly not addressed the fundamental issues of low birth rates.

Sweden has paternity leave which allows the father to work only 3 days a week and yet it hasn't increase the population growth. So USA way is the best way. It has the best immigration policies in the world.

POOR RESPONSE. From 4:38 to 12:30 Rural, orang asli or whoever may NOT like the Current Syllabus on ONE Stream to attain educated status is WRONG. Not all of us are interested in Pure Maths or Sciences. Some of us cannot aspire to excel in Studious Dragon Mama Studies all the time. MY Needs MORE Technological and Vocational Institutes to provide the GUY in Bintulu to be self made Entrepreneur. Develop skills with your Hands. GDP figures are correlated to FDI. MIDA is attracting investors. MY must PAY like 12% of their disposable income on Food. MY should strive to be self sufficient in Food FIRST. Attract more Agro-Entrepreneurs. Weaker Ringgit is better of Local Interest Rates can be as high as 6% to borrowers. EV Road Tax Higher to compensate fuel subsidy and pay for road repairs. MM2H - not interesting anymore to foreigners. Beras Mandani needs more scrutiny. Subsidising rice is not prudent policies. Forget Taylor Swift Music. Bring back Black Sabbath or Foo Fighters. Coffee is a diuretic and imported from all over the world in USA. Grow more Robusta locally. Chinese Baby Growth Rate.. Hmm.. Cannot comen lah unless you are attractive. Chinese have LEFT with the Brain Drain already.

Corporate Monsters thru Gomen always love Babies aka Consumerism😂😂

DAP should stick to its principle instead of just for the so called harmony in Unity Govt, Anthony Loke gave up and compromised, do you really think by compromising, UMNO will be happy? UMNO being UMNO, they only take never give!!!

Enjoy your coffee quietly. I’m more interested to hear what you have to say about the daily political affairs.

Non Muslim in general having lesser babies because of social -economic issues, quality over quantity matters but unfortunately it sinks our beloved country, anyway it's time to love the universe as the world is wide and our future generations will survive anywhere in this world

to be more inclusive when Chinese % is lesser by accepting other races... so when one day malay reached 90+% and lain-lain less than 10%, do you mean DAP Would hv pivoted to the malay voters? how then do you preach your self as champion of secular voice then? pls do not misguide the secular community and brush aside the low birth rate.. it is a serious issue not for chinese but for the secular ppl. coz chinese and to some lesser extent indian are more secular while the malays lets face it.. born as a muslim. its not even malay's choice. so when 90% malay means a 90% islamic. by then Democratic Action PArty still relevant? i suggest IAP better name.

"Promo sm"

I think you fella got it wrong about less babies born by Chinese will result in Chinese school closure . No it is about the type of political system that malaysia use which is the every vote count with lesser Chinese voting then it will affect the political landscape of malaysia

Y?? Coz my kidsss cant get ts concert ticketssss

I m not happy

They tried hard
