Tekan Habis Podcast
Hosted by Tekan Habis
A Malaysian-language podcast that deeply analyzes automotive issues from technical, policy, and social angles.
This is a deep-dive automotive podcast in Malay that goes far beyond simple car reviews. The hosts tackle technical standards like motorcycle safety codes, debate government policy on fuel subsidies and road tax, and explore complex industry trends like the second-life of EV batteries. Bringing a mix of journalistic, production, and technical perspectives, the show aims to explain the 'why' behind the headlines in the Malaysian auto world.
“Its commitment to discussing the technical and policy 'nitty-gritty' in Bahasa Malaysia sets it apart. While other shows review cars, "Tekan Habis" dedicates entire segments to explaining European safety codes for riding gear or the economics of rural electrification using repurposed EV batteries.”

What you'll be asked on this show
When conducting interviews, the hosts act as facilitators for a collaborative deep-dive. They typically open by allowing the guest to introduce their project or area of expertise from their own perspective. The hosts then guide the conversation from the topic's origin to its technical specifics and broader societal impact, frequently interjecting with clarifying questions (e.g., "What is UMPEDAC?") to simplify complex jargon for the general audience.
The format is a conversational chat between two main hosts and a producer, sometimes recorded on-location at major auto shows like KLIMS. Episodes are structured with recurring segments for news, test drives ("Test Apa Minggu Ni"), and deep dives ("Selam Rinci"). They actively engage their community by dedicating entire episodes to answering listener questions from their YouTube comments.
