Indie rock music in the country has been a vibrant and diverse force for the past three decades, shaping the musical landscape we see today. We see the way this genre continues to evolve and gain recognition in the likes of Hujan, Fuad, Lust, and Capt’N Trips And The Kid. Mohd Jayzuan, founder of Projek Rabak and co-organiser of the Konvensyen Ipoh Sound joins us to unpack the genre's cultural impact especially in the country's indie rock capital of Ipoh, Perak, as well as the stories and sounds that define it.

Exploring The Indie Rock Scene in Malaysia

Aviation has always symbolized modernity, progress, and freedom, captivating us with everything from the roar of commercial jets to the precision of military maneuvers. There’s a childlike wonder in watching these machines defy gravity. Now, Malaysia’s first civil-recognized aerobatic pilot, Captain John Sham, and the GameBird Aerobatic Team are aiming to put the country on the global stage in a new way. Beyond performing breathtaking stunts, they’re carving out a space for aerobatics in Malaysia’s aviation scene and inspiring the next generation of pilots. We’ll explore Captain John’s journey from the Royal Malaysian Air Force, how technology has reduced the risks of flying, and the significance of bringing aerobatics to Malaysia.

Mention George Town, Penang, and most of us probably think of the food, the street art, or even the rich history of this trading hub. But as we wander around this vibrant city, most likely taking snapshots to be posted on social media later, how often do we stop to look at the old shop signs that can still be found along the streets? What stories do these signs tell us about this disappearing trade? We speak to Joel Lim Du Bois, project director of Ban Ban Kia, a project involving walking tours around Penang to highlight these unique shop signs.
