Sivaranjani Manickam, Secretary-General, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM)

 Sivaranjani Manickam has been elected the new secretary-general of Parti Sosialis Malaysia at its 26th national congress, which took place at the end of July. Sivaranjani who was formerly the Workers' Bureau Coordinator of the party takes the reigns from Sivarajan Arumugam, who was the sec-gen for 9 years. She's been an activist for more than 20 years, been a member of PSM for almost as long and has also worked for UNHCR. 

We speak to Sivaranjani about activism and building left movements.
