Are arts and humanities subjects less important than science, mathematics and technology?
Or is this just a long-standing misperception that needs to be challenged?
In this episode of Life and the City podcast, hosts Aida Ahmad and Farid Wahab explore the idea that subjects like literature, music, and the arts are "less valuable" than the sciences with Prof Dr Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi, an architecture lecturer at UCSI University and The Star columnist.
They unpack why this perception still persists, how it shapes Malaysian students and whether it’s time to reset the narrative.
Expect real-life anecdotes and expert perspectives as they dissect this issue.
The podcast series airs fortnightly and highlights topics related to urbanites.
