4. Iran has elected a reformist president who wants to open up Iran. Julia Roknifard, assistant professor at the School of Politics, History and International Relations, from the University of Nottingham Malaysia weighs in on the election and whether we can expect a shift in Iran’s oppressive domestic laws.

3. The PJD Link could be given a new lease on life, after its discontinuation in April. Selangor exco for state infrastructure and agriculture Izham Hashim shared that its developers have proposed a mitigation plan based on the criticism the project has received thus far. Ding Jo-Ann, an anti-PJD Link campaigner, shares her thoughts on this new development.

2. The death of social media influencer Rajeswary Appahu, also known as Esha, has highlighted the lack of protections for social media users facing cyberbullying. Last Thursday, Esha had lodged a police report expressing fears of being seriously harmed, before she was found dead in her apartment the following day. Psychiatrist Dr Ravivarma Rao talks to us about the lasting impact of online harassment and how we can better protect social media users.
