Consider This: Care Economy — The Business of Care
Malaysia’s Care Economy is an investment white space: An investment area that serves a strong development need but has yet to benefit from a robust policy framework and political momentum. What would it take to create a robust care infrastructure in Malaysia? And how might increased investments into this sector transform care services? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Anfaal Saari, Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly who holds the portfolio of Women and Family Empowerment, Social Welfare & the Care Economy, and Dr Haniza Khalid, currently Senior Research Associate at Universiti Malaya’s Social Wellbeing Research Centre. She recently authored a report on enabling investments into the Malaysian Care Economy, commissioned by UNDP Malaysia.

Consider This: Law Reform (Part 2) - When Children Take the Stand
While court processes are daunting for adults, they can be even more intimidating for children. Many young victims face immense stress and often give up seeking justice before the process concludes. Last year, Parliament took a significant step forward by amending the Evidence of Child Witness Act, providing more rights and protections to children testifying in court. Now new amendments to the Evidence of Child Witness Act are being proposed. These changes aim to create a more supportive courtroom environment, ensuring children can provide their best evidence. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Karen Lai, Programme Director at the Women’s Centre for Change (WCC) Penang.
