   EP12 | FORMULA 1 IS NOT JUST FOR THE BOYS! (THE RISING OF WOMEN IN MOTORSPORT)

   🏎️ Is Formula 1 really a sport for everyone? 👀 Or is the world of motorsport still a boys’ club? 🚩💨 From the roaring engines on the track to the growing conversations around women in sports, there’s more to Formula 1 than just speed. In this episode of Over The Edge Podcast, we dive into the rising presence of women in motorsport and ask the questions that often get left off the podium. 🏁✨ Joining our hosts, Mohd Alif Daniel, Fajrina, and Anjani, we explore the world of Formula 1 beyond the race itself—from technology, teamwork, and business to the opportunities and challenges faced by women trying to make their way into the sport. 🧐 If talent isn’t the problem, then what is? 🤔 Is F1 Academy helping close the gender gap, or does it create another form of separation? How do money, sponsorship, media attention, and stereotypes affect women's chances of reaching the highest level? And if these challenges exist in motorsport, could the same thing be happening across other sports too? ⚽🏎️ From Formula 1 to women’s football and beyond, we discuss whether women’s sports truly lack interest—or whether they simply haven’t been given the same attention and support. 💭📣 As the sporting world continues to evolve, are we finally witnessing a new era for women in sports? And more importantly, what still needs to change? 🌟 Whether you're an F1 fan, a sports enthusiast, or simply curious about the changing landscape of gender and sports, this episode is for you! 🎙️✨ Because maybe it's time we stop asking whether women belong in the game—and start asking what’s stopping them from changing it. 💪🏼🏆 Tune in and catch us on Spotify, YouTube & Apple Podcasts. 🎧✨ Follow our socials on Instagram & TikTok @overtheedge_soccd 🤳✨

    [PILOT EPISODE] Normalizing Ragging: A Pathway to Bullying in Malaysia's Education Culture?

    Ragging is often presented as an initiation ritual, sometimes even defended as a "rite of passage" for students entering a new environment. While some perceive it as harmless bonding or a way to build resilience, in reality, it creates psychological pressure and reinforces unhealthy hierarchies within student culture. Over time, ragging becomes normalized, especially as past victims come to accept it, or even perpetuate it, when they rise to senior positions. Some parents, often without realizing it, reinforce the practice when they advise their children to 'toughen up' and simply endure the experience. This normalization is concerning because ragging often blurs into bullying. The shift is driven by several factors: the younger generation's overexposure to extensive content, a decline in empathy, and a culture of socio-positioning where social status and dominance are overemphasized. These elements transform ragging from what is claimed to be a "tradition" into a harmful gateway for bullying. In our podcast with Datin Prof. Dr. Mariani Md Nor, Dean of the Faculty of Education, Languages, Psychology, and Music (FoELPM), we will explore why ragging persists under the justification of being a rite of passage, the consequences of this cultural acceptance, and whether this cycle can truly be broken. Most importantly, we will consider what advice can be offered to students and parents in rejecting ragging as "normal" and instead fostering safer, more empathetic learning environments.
