A Special Roundtable on Youth and Politics

We bring together a politician, a youth activist, and a researcher from Merdeka Center to talk about why youths are jaded and disoriented with politics. Awareness of issues and socioeconomic tensions are at an all-time high, and yet politics is not their priority. What explains this? Shakir Ameer, Victoria Cheng, and Ehsan Shahwahid share their thoughts.

Produced by: Ahmad Fuad Rahmat, Haniff Baharudin
