Polarised Across Racial Lines: Unpacking GE15 Ethnic Voting Patterns

Malaysia is highly polarised. The results of GE15 told us that much. But just how polarised are we, especially across racial and religious lines? Dr Bridget Welsh who’s a political scientist and an Honorary Research Associate with the University of Nottingham Asia Research Institute Malaysia (UoNARI-M), recently wrote a 7-part series for Malaysiakini breaking down ethnic voting patterns of GE15. 

Dr Bridget Welsh joins us in this episode to unpack her findings.
