Activism UndiMalaysia: What is UndiMalaysia, by Edmond Bon

[pywong]

UndiMsia! is a non-partisan movement, basically doing education and
empowerment work for youths based on our 4 pillars: Information, Process,
Action, Platform. FactSheets are here: http://www.undimsia.com/about-us/ -
much has to do with being a more educated voter, but thats not all: that we
must take action before and after the vote to seek out solutions to our
problems. In other words, we provide tools to be solutionists and to take
action as opposed to complaining only. We basically give tools to the youth
to empower themselves to find solutions to problems they face which may be
as small as getting a water cooler in their college to racism, corruption
and public education woes.

1. Under Information - our deliverables have been infographics and videos:
http://www.undimsia.com/ - we believe that to push any movement forward and
sustain it to improve life conditions, we need to research and source
credible information as the base to create the messages and causes we want
to take up.

2. Under Process - our deliverable has been the Laporan Rakyat:
http://www.undimsia.com/laporanrakyat/ - where we use it as a base to
educate voters as to the core questions one might ask before voting or just
engaging with the MP/ADUN. We rolled it out in the test Hulu Langat
constituency and a report on the feedback is coming soon. TheSun and other
media has featured this initiative with much favour as it probably is the
first time its being done in this concerted way. We also under this pillar
regularly host different MPs/ADUNs/policymakers/superstars/hit activists to
talk about issues that affect the community, including working with locals
at Hulu Langat to make things better for themselves by engaging their
elected reps.

3. Under Action - we run our regular unique flagship #IdolaDemokrasi
Gameshops which basically are made up of modules regarding rights,
democracy, Msian system of governance, and what action you as a young
citizen can take - it takes us in about 4 hours through the whole gambit of
issues and coming out of it like yoga more energetic. Our deliverables are
the various Youth Action Groups (YAGs) that are encouraged to take up
causes for their communities and move to spread the messages of this
movement. Many videos have been done as seen below in the links, and many
various quite drastic action has been taken by some of these movers/YAGs
empowered after the GameShops.

(Target groups are young about 17-35, usually participants ideal number is
minimum 30 but we have done it for 100 before. I will send in my next email
an organiser's pack with all you need to know to organise it. We need about
minimum 4 hours for the Gameshop)

4. Under Platform - we coalesce various NGOs who do education and
empowerement to showcase them and share resources without duplicating their
work and vice versa. This is important as we are all volunteers and need to
maximise our resources. The numbers of NGOs are growing and the link to the
information about this is here: http://www.undimsia.com/the-platform/
