In this never to air discussion we brave the topic of the Internal Security Act , looking at it from the angle of every day citizens and their awareness of their constitutional rights

We hear from Syahredzan Bin Johan, from the Bar Council's MyConstitution Campaign, Hardesh Singh from POP IN and Alfian Saad, Singaporean Playwright
