The Demo project, launched by Zikri Rahman, Jeremy Lim and Ooi Kok Hin, is a collection of interviews documenting the history of Malaysian contemporary protests.

It is an archive of stories on the lived experiences of protest organisers and activists of the past 15 years and aims to be a resource for future activists.

BFM speaks to two-thirds of the brains behind the Demo Project. (Check out the Demo project website and the Demo project Instagram.)
