Fathers Lose Everything in Minutes | with Malcolm Fernandez | Fathers Rights Association Malaysia

What happens when a father loses his children… in minutes?

In this raw and deeply emotional episode of TheGoodCastShow, we sit down with MALCOLM FERNANDEZ — lawyer, advocate, and co-founder of the Fathers Rights Association Malaysia (FRAM) — to confront a reality many men suffer in silence.

This is not just a conversation about divorce.
This is about fathers erased, homes lost, and children torn away by a system that many believe is fundamentally biased.

Malcolm speaks candidly about the struggles fathers face in custody battles, where the law often favours women — not based on equality, but assumption. We ask the uncomfortable questions:

Is the law truly neutral?
Or has “equality” become a selective pursuit?

We discuss how men can lose access to their children almost instantly, how the legal system can be weaponised, and how these experiences push many fathers into emotional collapse. Malcolm shares heartbreaking accounts of men he has spoken to — fathers drowning in grief, some contemplating suicide after losing the one thing that gave their lives meaning: their children.

We also confront Malaysia’s alarming male suicide rates, the stigma around men expressing pain, and the devastating truth that in every divorce war… the child always suffers the most.

This episode is uncomfortable.
It is emotional.
And it is absolutely necessary.

If you believe fathers matter — this conversation is for you.
