Can Syed Saddiq’s Youth Party Actually Make a Difference in Malaysia?

Syed Saddiq recently announced that he will be starting a new multiracial, multireligious, youth-based party. While some are speculating that this could be a game changer in the Malaysian political landscape -- a third force -- others have wondered if the party could even realistically sustain itself, what more make a dent outside the urban bubble. We speak to James Chai and Dr. Bridget Welsh to explore if a youth party can actually make a difference in Malaysia.
