RECENTLY, we organised the first ever, civil-society initiated Digital Parliament in the world. This initiative was organised by four youth organisations; Undi18, Challenger Malaysia, Liga Rakyat Demokratik and UNAM Youth. It was for the youth, by the youth.
We brought together 222 youths from across Malaysia to represent their constituencies, similar to how a real Parliamentary seating would. Apart from intending to prove the feasibility of a virtual Parliamentary sitting, Parlimen Digital’s objectives also included the desire to platform the voices of the Malaysian youth, and increase awareness of parliamentary proceedings among the younger demographic of Malaysia. The incredible response to Parlimen Digital has been a true litmus test with undeniable results with regards to youth political participation in the county.
