The Ideologies of Political Parties in West Malaysia

Political parties in Malaysia can be very confusing. We have a lot of them, from UMNO to PAS to PKR to DAP to newer ones like AMANAH and Bersatu and newborns like MUDA and Pejuang. But what do we know about these parties besides the famous names at the helm? What do we know about their ideologies, particularly economically? Political Commentator Oh Ei Sun joins us to unpack the various mainstream political parties in Malaysia.
