Malaysian political scene has endured a series of events and has had its fair share of protests that involved quite a number of politicians in the past decade. Issues like the murder of the Mongolian Model Altantuya Shaariibuu and the accusations of Razak Baginda, a former political analyst with the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who many claimed is related to the case. The trial is on-going with Razak still under charged with abetting two police officers who is accused of murdering the model and subsequently blowing her body to pieces using C4 explosives.

Issues arises like the petrol hikes have caused a major uproar among citizens not so much about the petrol hikes but more so are talked about on the issues involving the hike. The government of Malaysia today are being said to have not done enough to keep the price low, thereby increasing the people's burden. Words of advice like ‘changing the lifestyle' of the people by the Malaysia Prime Minister are being shot back for being too naïve. The people want to know where the profits of the national petroleum company Petronas have been channeled to if not to help curb the rising price of fuel. The former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his dissatisfaction on his successor and how he claims the Primer to be a puppet to his son-in-law Khairy Jamalluddin, who has many corporate directorship under his belt. The former prime minister, who has alleged to have tried to control the judicial system too are being talked about, but many voiced that the past is gone, and more focus should be put on the present, which many believe that the government is incapable in managing Malaysia's economy and administration. These hot topics are constantly discussed in a place where the true facets of Malaysian politics are talked about and discussed not by the politicians but by the people whose lives are affected by the politicians, the people of Malaysia. There are many ways by which the people of Malaysia wants to be heard, for instance Raja Petra Kamarudin, a prominent opposition activist and editor that he claims would have insider information about the dark circles of the country's political arena and the various comments he has made that caused his incarceration under the Malaysian Seditious Act.

These issues are discussed in detail in Malaysia Today as it comes from the people themselves. Most of the people would give their insights and suggestions to be heard and understood. As a channel of interaction, Malaysia Today provides a place for Malaysians to talk about what they feel and think about politics that affects their everyday lives and everything else that don't.
