KUALA LUMPUR: This week on Beyond the Headlines, we kickoff the discourse with the tragic case of a young mother and daughter found dead in Kulim, Kedah, in what police believe to be a murder-suicide.
With insights from consultant psychologist Katyana Azman and AWAM’s capacity building director Jayamalar Samuel, the session explores how emotional distress, relationship turmoil, and financial strain can drive women to breaking point.
The discussion also examines why many suffer in silence, how emotional abuse erodes self-worth, and what families, communities, and policymakers can do to build stronger mental health and social support systems.
In the second segment, the focus shifts to global duty.
NST Reporter Fuad Nizam joins the set to discuss the emotional farewell to Malaysian Battalion 850-13 (Malbatt) — Malaysia’s final peacekeeping deployment under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
The segment reflects on nearly two decades of Malaysia’s proud peacekeeping legacy, the values that earned Malaysian troops international respect, and what the end of this mission signifies.
