On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Teoh Ai Ni, Research Associate at Khazanah Research Institute and author of the series ‘From Home Cooking to Eating Out, and Dr Amjad Rabi, a social security economist who is currently a visiting expert at Universiti Malaya’s Social Wellbeing Research Centre, who recently co-authored a paper on ‘Food Affordability in Malaysia: When Markets and Money Decide What to Eat’. 1524 2025-04-03T22:00:12+08:00 no https://international.astroawani.com/video/video-terkini-x7sio1/us-reindustrialisation-will-take-time-tariffs-not-solution-expert-x9haweg2026-01-22T01:21:32+08:00monthly0.5 U.S. Reindustrialisation Will Take Time, Tariffs Not the Solution – Expert https://s2.dmcdn.net/v/YApU81dxuMwqPbgk5/x480 Let's look at the countries hit hardest by Trump's new tariffs... Cambodia, Madagascar and Laos are set to face a near 50-percent rise in import duties... Another South-East Asian nation Vietnam not too far behind - while China's fees have risen by a full third. U.S. allies such as Japan and Taiwan didn't escape the hikes - and the EU has threatned escalatory action for its 20-percent hit. Earlier I discussed the developments with RT contributor and financial commentator Chris Emms. He says any reindustrialisation of the U.S. will take a long time - if it happens at all - and tariffs are unlikely to solve the main problem of a skills deficit. 351 2025-04-04T14:55:35+08:00 no https://international.astroawani.com/video/video-terkini-x7sio1/aid-workers-gaza-killed-israeli-strike-x9hawgs2026-01-22T01:21:32+08:00monthly0.5 Aid Workers in Gaza Killed by Israeli Strike https://s1.dmcdn.net/v/YApVS1dxuCNsHqfPe/x480 London's defence ministry reportedly said it had footage of Gaza on the day of the incident, but refused to disclose it, citing national security. James Kirby was among seven workers killed in the attack, which Israel called a' mistake'. In another shocking incident earlier this year, 15 aid workers were found dead in a mass grave in Gaza - the IDF said it had fired upon them because of their suspicious movements. 410 2025-04-04T14:58:30+08:00 no https://international.astroawani.com/video/video-terkini-x7sio1/impact-us-tariffs-asean-panel-discussion-impact-us-tariffs-asean-fui-k-soong-deputy-chairman-institute-strategic-analysis-and-policy-research-malaysia-and-duane-dizon-geopolitics-and-economics-expert-brics-tv-x9hbhxa2026-01-22T01:21:32+08:00monthly0.5 The impact of US tariffs in ASEAN Panel discussion on the impact of US tariffs in ASEAN: Fui K.

However, this pause excludes China, where tariffs have been increased to a staggering 125%. This sudden U-turn came just hours after the tariffs were enforced, leaving the global trade landscape in flux. What impact could the continued unpredictability of US tariff policies have on global trade? And how should Malaysia and other ASEAN economies respond to safeguard our regional interests?

As wars rage in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, many are asking: Is the UN still relevant? But away from the headlines, the UN’s development arm, UNDP, continues its work on the ground—including in Malaysia, where it’s been present since the 1960s. As Malaysia pushes toward high-income status, what does meaningful development look like in an age of colliding crises? And as trust in multilateral institutions wanes, can the UN still deliver on its promise of peace, progress and dignity for all?
