If you’re someone who lives in the Klang Valley or in other major cities in the country, chances are you’re at least somewhat aware that there is racial discrimination in the rental market. You may have your own lived experience, heard a story from a friend, or perhaps seen a sign online or walked past one in real life that reads “No x race" or "no y race” or maybe… “Chinese only.”But just how serious is the issue of discrimination in Malaysia’s rental market?

Their latest paper is titled Room Rental Discrimination and highlights in detail patterns of racial exclusion in listings on the platform, iBilik. We unpack this with Jason Wee, who’s the co-founder of Architects of Diversity. To support the call for a Residential Tenancy Act, sign the petition at: https://chng.it/kHnxhmnR2tImage Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
