Hi everyone, we're the BERSIH team. This week, BERSIH invited us to join an online conference with scholars from India and South Africa to discuss elections in different regions. During the brief two-hour meeting, we saw that people from different regions and countries share the same vision - clean and fair elections. Free and fair elections are hard-won, and this makes us admire BERSIH even more. It also made us reflect on the importance of cherishing the democracy and freedom we have in our own country.

Today, we were also delighted to have Professor Chou visit us, showing his concern for progress of our interns. We had many new discussions about electoral system reform with BERSIH. Reflecting on what we learned in our comparative politics class during our sophomore year, we are fortunate to see the practical application of comparative politics in the real world.

This short week has taught us a lot, and we look forward to the sparks of ideas and new ways of thinking that this month's learning will ignite. We will learn and grow together with the organization, working hard for the land we care about.
