Gearing Up For GE15: Make Health A Priority In Your Manifesto

19th November will be the day that Malaysians head to the polls for our 15th General Elections.

Independent health policies specialist Dr Khor Swee Kheng joins us to look back on what we’ve achieved since GE14, and what’s on his wishlist for GE15 manifestos.
