Diversity in political representation, especially for women and youth, is an increasingly critical issue in this day and age. And when we talk about elections, having a voting process that is fair and transparent is a given. Join us and our three guests - Aeslinn Noel from UNDI18, Chow Ying Ngeow from Bersih, as well as independent consultant and expert on parliamentary democracy Maha Balakrishnan - as we discuss these issues.
GE15 is referred to by many as the mother of all elections. This is the first-ever election after the automatic registration of voters. Malaysia is also grappling with a more dynamic political landscape and mixed public interest in political participation. We speak with Aeslinn Noel from UNDI18, Chow Ying Ngeow from Bersih, as well as independent consultant and expert on parliamentary democracy Maha Balakrishnan, to further explore why GE15 matters and should matter to Malaysians.
