REFSA supports call for KL bipartisan committee

REFSA has supported the Pakatan Harapan (PH) members of parliament's proposal for a "Kuala Lumpur 2024 Bipartisan Committee" to co-govern the capital city. For the betterment of the capital city and wellbeing of city folks, especially for the coming post-Covid-19 scenario, this was a good place to start the conversation about the future of Kuala Lumpur.

[REFSA DISCUSS #10] Urban Housing for the Youth Roundtable

The COVID-19 pandemic and its repercussions have unveiled many fault lines in our systems particularly in the way we organise and design our urban areas and living spaces. Youths in particular, continue to work in the cities but are increasingly finding it difficult to live anywhere near the cities. Today's pandemic is not the first crisis to hit our cities and it will not be the last. Urban rejuvenation and facilitating better cities to live, work and play should be at the forefront of our effort to build our society back better.

Malaysia should emulate New Zealand’s epidemic response committee

When the NZ Parliament was postponed, its epidemic response committee was a recognition of the opposition's role to jointly manage COVID-19. The administration was called to testify on issues, proceedings were broadcasted live and every report was debated when parliament resumed. It guaranteed that the committee conducted itself transparently and openly, and ensured parliamentary scrutiny during the crisis.

Can Malaysia end the leadership crisis?

The country is in a leadership crisis. How far will MCO 2.0 and the Emergency declaration flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases? The government must consult and engage widely during this critical period - particularly for the upcoming National Pandemic Management Strategic Plan. It is essential that Parliament continues to function and the Greek and UK parliaments illustrate effective legislating during a pandemic.
