KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia’s health system is in crisis — overworked doctors, an ageing population, and rising chronic diseases are pushing it to the brink. In this episode of Scoop Insight by PodaBoom, Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Dr Thirunavukarasu Rajoo joins us to talk about the urgent reforms Malaysia needs, why the system is “still running on a 1970s model,” and how young people can take charge of their own health.
From the vape ban debate to the Health White Paper and the future of public healthcare, this is a candid look at what’s really holding Malaysia back — and what it’ll take to heal the system before it’s too late. – October 28, 2025
