This week's What's The Focus explores the impact the faulty update from security software firm CrowdStrike caused to IT systems worldwide, the gender pay gap which sees no signs of narrowing and why you should be concerned that cocaine was found in wild sharks off Rio de Janeiro's coast. On the local front, we ask the questions whether or not Kuala Lumpur is a safe city and where can you find the cheapest fresh chicken where you live?
