Top 5 at 5: Plugging The Gaps In Consent Education

A survey on the consent education of young Australians carried out by Tinder and YouGov showed that there is still a lot of work to be done in properly educating young people about sexuality and consent. We speak to sex educator June Low to talk about the realities of sex education in Malaysia, the importance of consent in intimate relationships and the impact pornography has in shaping the way men and women perceive consent.

Other stories we covered today:

· Abuse at UPNM: A cadet at Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia was reported to have been burned with a hot iron to his chest by a senior. This abuse case comes seven years after the murder of navy cadet Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain that caused a national stir. We reached out to Jerald Joseph, human rights activist and former Suhakam commissioner, for his thoughts on weaknesses in the checks and balances of institutions like the institutional abuse that leaves these cadets in a position of vulnerability.

· Zoo Taiping welcomes a baby hippo and tortoise hatchlings: Some heartwarming news from Zoo Taiping and Night Safari as they welcomed a baby hippopotamus to roud parents Lek and April. They also saw developments in their breeding program as they welcomed 16 Sulcata tortoise hatchlings, the first of their kind for Zoo Taiping. Andrew Sebastian, Founder and CEO of of the Ecotourism and Conservation Society of Malaysia shares his thoughts on the news and the role zoos play in animal conservation.

· Seabirds spreading avian flu: Researchers found that the H5N1 bird flu virus could spread rapidly through the animal population because of certain seabird species. We reached out to Simon Gorta, a PhD student at the Centre for Ecosystem Science, University of New South Wales in Australia to explain the ways the virus spreads through seabirds and the potential spread of the H5N1 virus into new regions.

· Hello Kitty turns 50: The beloved Sanrio character (who is only five apples tall) has reached a pivotal milestone as she was created 50 years ago. We speak to Richard Ker, Chief Storyteller and founder of Richard Ker Digital for his thoughts on why this nostalgic character has been an enduring cultural icon for the masses. Aqilah Yaacob, senior lecturer of the School of Management and Marketing at Taylor’s University, also shares her thoughts on the 'kawaii' culture that surrounds Hello Kitty and her fanbase.
