The Property Show : Graffiti in KL, A New Norm
Throughout the decades graffiti has always been a controversial subject. In most countries, marking or painting property without permission is considered defacement and vandalism. But some say it is a misunderstood art form, as it gives a city character. No matter what city you go to anywhere in the world, there’s bound to be murals and graffiti scattered around. In fact, graffiti has nowadays become more acceptable with brands, developers and even governments pay graffiti artists to decorate their buildings and products. Some say it can even enhance the value of a property. Joining us on today's show is a KL-based graffiti artist, Cloakwork to help us understand his art and the growing acceptance of graffitis.

Earth Matters : Australia's bushfire crisis - is this what a climate crisis looks like?
The unprecedented and catastrophic bushfires in Australia have killed more than 25 people, burned hundreds of thousands of hectares of land, caused massive devastation to wildlife, ecosystems and the environment, and destroyed hundreds of homes. Even as the world tries to grapple with the enormity of the crisis, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been facing mounting criticism over his government's climate policies and their handling of the crisis. A new misinformation campaign has also been spreading around the claim that the bushfire crisis is the fault of arsonists, seemingly an attempt to dispel the role of climate change in the crisis. We speak to Christine Milne, a former Senator for Tasmania and leader of the Australian Greens, to get the 411 on the crisis.
