He spoke to Green Left Radio presenters about his experiences of detention, what it's like being on a bridging visa, and why we need to keep protesting against the cruel refugee policies of our current government.

Recording of a interview from Green Left's Peter Boyle who spoke to Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) deputy chairperson S. Arutchelvan, better known as Arul, about the November 19 snap general elections and the politics and agendas of the various parties in contention. Until just days before the close of nominations, the opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH) had been holding out hope that it would allocate certain seats to the PSWM under an electoral pact. But in the end no seats were made available to the PSM by PH. This was met with outrage and dismay from many people in the progressive social movements. You can view the individual interview here.
