    Description

    Should Malaysia Adopt a New Electoral System?

    Penang Institute in collaboration with ENGAGE are proud to bring you this two-day workshop on electoral system and party system. As a nation, we inherited the First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) electoral system from the British. With the momentous change in Government at the 14th General Election, we want to explore the different electoral systems available around the world and consider their viability for Malaysia.

    The Speaker
    Dr Wong Chin Huat is fellow at Penang Institute and resource person at the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections 2.0 (Bersih 2.0). A Chevening scholar, his doctoral thesis in University of Essex was on the electoral system and party system in West Malaysia, 1982-2004. He long predicted that Malaysia will not have a two-party system with merely an end of Barisan Nasional's rule.
