Bridget Welsh: “Very Possible” That PAS Could Govern Malaysia One Day
Bridget Welsh is an independent political scientist and scholar who has lived in (and analysed) ASEAN and Malaysian social, political and economic developments for over three-and-a-half decades, writing books and advising companies and NGOs on how to navigate one of the world’s most important and exciting regions.
Welsh's views on Malaysia's- and ASEAN’s future are explosive and troubling. They are also truthful and nuanced. This could be one of the most important discussions anyone can consume in this era of great change, risk and opportunity.
Listen with an open heart and a constructive mind. It might yet help you navigate an uncertain future.
