ThinkLeft #11 - Power to the People

People often think that democracy begins and ends at the ballot box. While elections are important -- and everyone should exercise their right to vote -- it's also equally important to understand the power you have beyond voting. On the final episode of ThinkLeft, we discuss the people's power and also how we can make Malaysia's Parliamentary system more democratic. Sivarajan Arumugam, Secretary-General of PSM also shares his party’s aspirations for GE15.
