Do foreign workers have a place behind the woks of Malaysia's beloved hawker stalls? This episode of Life & The City tackles the hot-button topic of the Selangor government's proposed ban, a move being practised in Penang.

Hosts Aida Ahmad and Farid Wahab are joined by Malaysia Hawkers and Petty Traders Association executive advisor Datuk Lee Teong Chwee. Together, they delve into the complexities of the issue. Is barring foreign workers discriminatory? Does allowing them to cook constitute cultural appropriation? Will a ban truly safeguard the authenticity of these iconic dishes?

The Life & The City podcast series, which airs fortnightly, addresses current and social issues impacting urbanites.
