Last year, the folks at UNDI 18, which is a non-partisan youth advocacy group, organised a little something called Parlimen Digital, a virtual parliamentary sitting run and participated by youths. The event was highly successful and garnered praise from the media, activists and politicians alike. This year, the UNDI 18 folks are back with something that looks to be bigger and better. It’s called Dewan Muda Malaysia (DMM), a two year programme with the aim of promoting greater political participation among Malaysian youths. Qyira Yusri and Tharma Pillai, Co-Founders of UNDI 18, join us to discuss DMM.
