PRN 2023: The Third Force

The upcoming series of state elections will see a third force namely MUDA and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) come together to take on the two giants that are Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional. The move has been equally welcomed and criticised by members of the public, particularly on social media, as some say that they could play a pivotal role in shifting our nation’s discourse in a more progressive direction, while others accuse them of being spoilers and vote-splitters. 

We speak to:

S. Arutchelvan, PSM Kajang Candidate

Sivaranjani Manickam, PSM Meru Candidate

Dobby Chew, MUDA Seri Setia Candidate
