But somehow, Malaysia always seems to find itself being criticised heavily by both locals and foreigners over its public toilets.

With Hari Merdeka just a week away, the issue of patriotism has cropped up once again following the Kuantan Municipal Council's (MBK) order that business owners hang the Jalur Gemilang or be fined RM250. Amid claims that those who don't display the national flag do not love the country as much as they should, this begs the question - should these people be labelled as "unpatriotic"? And should they be forced into displaying their loyalty towards the country by displaying the Jalur Gemilang? In this episode, host Sarah Yeoh shares her thoughts on the issue along with the message that patriotism is more than just hanging flags - rather, it's an emotion that can only come from within willingly.

Mental health. It's not a topic that most would want to talk about over a cup of coffee when there are "interesting" things to talk about such as food, travel, or the latest celebrity gossip. But with news reports of more Malaysians facing mental distress and committing suicide, it has become all the more important to speak about what has long been seen as a taboo in Malaysian society. With guest and certified counsellor Benice Malini, we discuss about why mental health is often left out of daily conversations, the efforts authorities are taking to address soaring suicide rates, and how one can comfort those who have lost a loved one to a premature death by suicide.
