Consider This: Johor Polls (Part 1) — Do State Assemblies Need Reform?

The Johor State Assembly recently introduced a significant institutional change: legislation that will allow for 5 appointed assemblypersons to be added to the state assembly.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with political scientist Professor Wong Chin Huat, Deputy Head of Strategy for the Asia Headquarters of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network at Sunway University, and Member of Projek SAMA.
