V for Voting Part 1: Electoral Studies Malaysia

Not just nuts and bolts; its about values. We’re talking elections and democracy in this new series. Mavis Puthucheary and Norani Othman, co-editors of one of the most comprehensive studies of the local electoral system, tell us why they thought it was necessary to put their book together. Joining our Roundtable, Tricia Yeoh, Tunku 'Abidin Muhriz and Ahmad Fuad Rahmat look at choice and compulsion in a democracy.
