Equalizing Voices: Voter Shifts Redraw Malaysia’s Map

Malaysia’s electoral map may shift dramatically—not through legislation, but as voters update their addresses. Tindak Malaysia highlights potential rises in Malay-majority, mixed, and even Orang Asli-majority seats, while Chinese-majority areas may shrink. This raises concerns about overcrowding, underrepresentation, and systemic readiness. Danesh Prakash Chacko, Director at Tindak Malaysia joins us to share his insights on the issue and its broader implications.
