Intro
The episode begins with a discussion about the importance of guidelines for Muslims attending non-Muslim events. The hosts acknowledge that most Muslims understand basic etiquette when attending events of other faiths, but they question whether clear guidelines are necessary to avoid confusion.
Gold Price Increase
The hosts discuss the recent increase in the price of gold, attributing it to factors such as declining interest rates, increased geopolitical risk, and central bank purchases. They argue that gold is a safe haven asset that can act as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty. The hosts also highlight the Bursa Gold Dinar app, a Shariah-compliant gold investment platform that allows users to buy, sell, transfer, and redeem physical gold.
Electricity Tariff Hike
The hosts discuss the government's decision to increase electricity tariffs in the second half of 2025. They explain the Incentive Based Regulation (IBR) system used to set tariffs in Malaysia and the factors that contribute to tariff adjustments. The hosts also discuss the potential impact of the tariff hike on businesses and consumers, emphasizing the need for clear communication regarding the use of subsidy savings.
Helicopter Leasing
The hosts discuss the government's decision to lease 28 helicopters from Weststar Aviation Services for 15 years at a total cost of RM16.5 billion. They explain the rationale behind the leasing agreement, highlighting the inclusion of maintenance, spare parts, and other services. The hosts also discuss the criticisms of the agreement, particularly the high cost compared to purchasing helicopters outright. They emphasize the need for transparency and a clear comparison of costs to justify the government's decision.
Guidelines for Muslims
The hosts discuss the proposed guidelines for Muslims attending non-Muslim events, highlighting the existing guidelines issued by the National Fatwa Council in 2005. They argue that the proposed guidelines are unnecessary and that Muslims should be trusted to make informed decisions based on existing guidance and advice from religious figures. The hosts also discuss the potential for misinterpretation and the need for clear communication regarding the role of religious bureaucracy in a multi-religious society.
Trump-Gaza
The hosts discuss Donald Trump's recent actions and proposals, particularly his proposal to take over and redevelop Gaza. They analyze the potential consequences of this proposal for the Palestinian people, highlighting the historical trauma of displacement and the potential for further conflict. The hosts also discuss the potential impact of Trump's actions on the international community and the future of the two-state solution. They express concern about the potential for increased hostility towards the Palestinian people and the need for Malaysia to play a proactive role in promoting peace and stability in the region.
