Book Launch

Tuesday, 27 October 2020

Zoom Webinar, (22nd Series 1st Talk)

  • Why are there no local elections in Malaysia?        
  • Is local democracy just about local elections?            
  • What about people’s participation and power?
    Can we have local democracy without local elections?              
  • Does the Local Government Act provide for more public participation?
