Series 1 Episode 1 - Censorships in Malaysia. Does it contradict our freedom of expression?
Censorship is not a novel concept in Malaysia at all. Following the recent failure of two highly anticipated blockbusters to pass muster during screenings in Malaysia, the topic of censorship has received a great deal of attention from the public. People started wondering how much power the government actually had to control on this particular issue, questions such as what can and can't be restricted arose, as well as the laws that govern such censorship.
In that effort, ALSA Malaysia will be conducting an episode of a podcast titled ‘Censorships in Malaysia – Does it contradict our freedom of expression?' featuring Dr. Murni Wan Mohd Nor, discussing the problem of our current censorships law.

Episode 9 - Data Privacy: Is it still relevant or impossible?
Data Privacy is the relationship between the collection and dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and political issues surrounding them. While more and more personal information is exposed and transactions are carried out online, internet users might be more inclined to believe that privacy in the digital world is impossible. However, the confidentiality of data is still relevant notwithstanding the current digitalised world. When data that should be kept private gets in the wrong hands, bad things can happen. A data breach at a government agency might put top-secret information in the hands of an enemy state. A breach at a corporation might put proprietary data in the hands of a competitor. Hence, is data privacy still relevant or impossible?
Invited Speaker: Karen Abraham, Head of the Intellectual Property department of Messrs Shearn Delamore & Co. With more than 30 years of litigation experience in Intellectual Property matters, Abraham also works very closely with the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) who are vested with the powers of enforcing IP rights under the existing IP legal regime.

Episode 1 - Law School and Depression: Reality or Myths?
Gavelcast Episode 1 is brought to you by ALSA Malaysia in collaboration with ALSA UKM. In this episode, we dive into this stigma and try to understand a little bit of what really is the issue revolving around it, by altering how we perceive the reality of depression and law school. It’s the stigma that makes it so hard to see an end to depression, as they limit our perspective of things. Once we manage to understand the pattern to this issue, the emotional arousal they cause tends to affect us or anyone physically. If you are thinking, “Yeah, but you don’t know my life” – remember: there is nothing more awful that you can imagine that someone somewhere has not survived without becoming depressed. It is not your fault if you are depressed, but there are concrete, effective things you can do about it.
