Why Is The Ringgit Plummeting?

It's been at the cornerstone of every conversation about the economy for a year (and more) now - the decline of the ringgit against the dollar. So in this show, we try to clarify what exactly is going on here, and get into some suggested solutions. And of course, because there've been many attempts to play the blame game about who is ultimately responsible for this, we discuss the political ramifications of this as well.
