马来西亚柔佛州的选举，将在星期六（6月27日）提名。由首相安华领导的希望联盟，星期一晚上在东甲举行造势大会，公布希盟柔佛州选56名候选人的完整名单。 较早前，希盟在柔佛州的最大对手，国民阵线已经宣布，将角逐全部56个州议席，但未公布候选人名单。 希盟与国阵，都是安华领导的中央团结政府的成员党。国阵宣布竞选柔佛州的全部议席，标志着这两个政治阵营全面竞争。 柔佛州选被视为马来西亚全国大选的前哨战、风向标。这次州选的结果，会如何影响团结政府的运作以及存续？马来西亚全国大选会在什么时候举行？由安华的公正党前署理主席拉菲兹的团队接管的同心党等“第三势力”，是否有可能掀起新风潮？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与马来西亚政治观察者、华社研究中心学术董事潘永强博士深入解析。 延伸阅读： 安华腹背受敌 马国大选还能拖多久？| 世界大解说 胡逸山：柔佛州选与安华的大选算盘 Malaysia's Johor snap election is shaping up as a major stress test for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's federal unity government. With nominations set for June 27 and polling on July 11, the southern state has become a critical battleground, as Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) are federal partners but direct rivals in Johor, where BN holds power as the incumbent state government. BN has announced it will contest all 56 state seats, with party leaders framing Johor as a launchpad for a broader national comeback. Perikatan Nasional is also contesting all 56 seats, setting up fierce multi-cornered fights across most constituencies. Adding further disruption is Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama), a minor party taken over in May 2026 by former Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli and former minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, which is running independently and contesting a selection of seats. Widely viewed as a bellwether for the next general election, the result could determine whether BN's aggressive push fractures the unity government and whether local state results accelerate a nationwide vote. In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong is joined by Dr. Phoon Wing Keong, political observer and chairperson of the Huayan Policy Institute, to unpack the stakes on this episode of Global Heartbeat.

随着百物价格上涨，印尼雅加达的街边小食店据说也出现了变化。有报道称，如今食品分量少了，辣椒也没以前辣。 经济学家将这种现象称之为“缩水式通胀”。《雅加达邮报》早在2024年就曾报道，有半数受访者表示能感觉到商品缩水，其中最明显的是零食。 如今，由于中东局势推高国际能源价格，加上外资撤离，印尼的通胀问题更为严重。2026年第一季度，印尼经济增长达到5.61%，创下自2022年第三季度以来的最高增速，但人民却切身感受不到增长带来的好处。 与此同时，印尼货币持续贬值。今年以来，印尼盾对美元汇率下跌了8%，成为亚洲表现最差的货币。货币贬值与能源价格上涨，让当地中产阶层首当其冲。 印尼货币为何跌跌不休？去年8月，印尼爆发席卷全国的大规模示威并导致10人死亡；最近，学生又再次走上街头，印尼社会是否正重新酝酿动荡的因子？下一步它又会何去何从？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》驻雅加达特派员蓝云舟详细解析。 延伸阅读： 印尼盾再探新低 政府每日砸2万亿救货币  印尼大学生抗议政府政策 与警方爆发冲突  Jakarta’s street food stalls offer a glimpse into broader economic strain. Vendors are quietly reducing portions or even skipping chilli, a sign of “shrinkflation” that many Indonesians say they are already noticing in everyday purchases. These pressures are tied to wider global and domestic challenges. Rising energy costs, driven in part by geopolitical tensions, have weighed on Indonesia as a net oil importer, while a weakening rupiah has made imports more expensive. In response, Bank Indonesia has tightened monetary policy, and fuel prices for non-subsidised categories have increased, adding to household costs. Although Indonesia’s economy continues to grow at a steady pace, many in the middle class feel squeezed by higher living costs and currency pressures. Recent student protests over economic issues reflect growing public unease. This episode of Global Heartbeat explores what is driving these pressures, how policymakers are responding, and what it means for everyday Indonesians, featuring host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao’s Indonesia correspondent Nam Yunzhou.
