Pause

Following the launch of the new political party, Parti Kuasa Rakyat, we look into the emergence of new political parties and where they fit in our current system. First, we discuss what these new parties signify for our democracy and how they are affected by the coalition system. We then hear from new party, Parti Aspirasi Sains Malaysia, on how they're navigating all this. Finally, we revisit a conversation from the Breakfast Grille on what it was like for MUDA to come together.
