Lawyer Edmund Bon is a well-known human rights activist and a champion of democracy in Malaysia. Reproducing podcast (via ABC Radio Australia) post on Edmund Bon‘s discussion with presenter, Liam Cochrane on 16 April 2012 here.

He is a key player in UndiMsia! – a non-partisan lawyer-run movement to educate all Malaysians on national issues of concern – and is also a member of the Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights.

Mr Bon was in Melbourne last week to conduct a fun workshop for Malaysian youth, Idola Demokrasi.

Roughly translating to Democracy Idol, it’s designed to challenge and engage Malaysian youth to act and take tangible action on issues back home.
