GE15: Civil society sets the People’s Agenda?

Will a list of priorities for good governance stop voters from being swayed by appeals to race, religion and populist measures?

Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan talk to Aliran president Anil Netto, Save Rivers co-founder and chairman Peter Kallang and Pacos Trust executive director Anne Lasimbang about the People’s Agenda.

The five key points in the People’s Agenda:

• Uphold the dignity and quality of life of the people
• Promote equitable, sustainable development and address the climate crisis
• Celebrate diversity and inclusivity
• Save democracy and uphold the rule of law
• Fight corruption and cronyism

Check out the full People’s Agenda, which has been endorsed by over 50 civil society organisations.
