The 27th National Congress of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) was held in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, from July 25th to 27th. The congress, themed "Kuasa Ketiga, Kuasa Kita" was attended by around 150 delegates.
In this episode, we speak with Arveent Kathirchelvan, who’s a Central Committee Member and Coordinator of the Policy Research Bureau of PSM. We discuss some of the key motions they passed at their congress surrounding healthcare, pension and housing. We also unpack the various challenges faced by the left in the country, electoral politics, how they plan to elevate class consciousness and break through the wall of racial & religious politics that's holding the country back.
