As countries across the globe experience extreme heat and life-threatening floods, concerned youth are voicing out for more proactive climate action. Tharma Pillai and Cameron Tjoe from Undi18 and MyHutan share their demands for better environmental policies ahead of state polls.

In 2019 the Undi18 amendment was passed by parliament, and it was widely expected the young would vote for more progressive and reform minded parties. However, in last year's election, their vote was fairly split between PH and PN for the 18 to 40 age segment, dispelling the homogeneity of the youth. We'll speak with Shahril Hamdan, former UMNO Information Chief and UMNO Youth Vice Chief, on how the youth might vote in the upcoming 6 state elections.Image by: Shutterstock

How can Malaysian youth voice out hopes and aspirations on the global front? We ask Nur Qyira Yusri of Undi18 and Carmen Tan from Malaysian Youth Association for Diplomacy and Policy.

Since the implementation of UNDI18 or the lowering of voting age from 21 to 18, the youth have become increasingly important in shaping not just the outcome of elections but the direction of public policies too. But what role exactly do youths play in shaping public policy?

Asha and Non speak with @TharmaPillai , Co-Founder of @UNDI18MY the youth-led movement that advocated the lowering of the voting age to 18.

The Youth Aspiration Manifesto Survey was initiated to uncover youth opinions on issues such as employment, housing, education, wealth distribution, healthcare, environment, representation, and law and order. The survey was done as part of the #Undi100Peratus campaign that was launched earlier this month, that aspires to achieve 100% youth voter turnout in elections and ensure youth voices are heard by political parties. The campaign is a joint collaboration led by Undi18, UndiNegaraku and Architects of Diversity Malaysia (AOD) and we speak to Jason Wee, the Co-Founder of Architects of Diversity Malaysia, to tell us more about the findings of the survey, which among others, include three-quarters (75%) of Malaysian youth being concerned about climate change in Malaysia, with the majority supporting decreasing infrastructure development and greater punishment for illegal logging.

With the Undi18 and the emergence of Mudah, the Malaysian Political environment perceived growing influence and participation from the youth. However, this increasing engagement arrives at this time of unstable political landscape, namingly, the pandemic, and the Sheraton Move that brought 2 prime minister's resignation. How can us, the Generation Z, whether as voters, or as activists, continue to immerse in political debate, amidst the spiralling confusion and distrust? We spoke to one of the founders of Malaysian think tank IDEAS (Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs), as well as one of our Internal Advisory Council Members, Tunku Zain, for insightful advice.

Freedom of Information of a citizen’s right to information, is a democratic right. As the saying goes “the control of information is the tool of the dictatorship.” Unfortunately, in Malaysia, despite calling itself a democratic nation, freedom of information as a legal provision is only offered in two states - Selangor and Penang. Recently, the folks at UNDI18, have launched a campaign focusing on the Right to Information. Charlene See, Programme Lead of UNDI18 joins us on the show to discuss. Image source: Shutterstock

Why bother voting? This is a troubling question that some young people are asking following the events of Langkah Sheraton.

It all began with the remarks made by the Senate Speaker who is also the Senate President, Tan Sri Rais Yatim, who said that the decision to lower the voting age to 18-years-old starting this July was one made hastily and teenagers are still not ready to commit to the democratic process. Just recently, deputy youth and sports minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal who was once a special officer to the minister Syed Saddiq who said that Malaysians are not ready to vote at 18 years old. I speak to Tharma Pillai, the co-founder of Undi18, a youth-led movement dedicated to democratic reform whom he co-founded with his lifelong partner, Qyira Yusri.
