The Shringgit: How Are You Coping?

The ringgit has been seeing a depreciation against the US dollar, amidst the US Federal Reserve raising its policy interest rate aggressively, and larger uncertainties in the global economy. We discuss how this impacts the average Malaysian, first by hearing from the Morning Run's Wong Shou Ning, and then directly from our listeners.
