Why youth?

  • Youths have earned the right to express and share their opinions. What they require now is to be politically aware.
  • By engaging youth in policymaking, true socio-political transformation can be set in motion.
  • Our aim is to empower youth in nation building and give them a voice to create a better future for the country.
  • This event will allow youth to engage critically with current and future policies through a debate and a series of town hall policy discussions.

Debate Session

Undi 18, are we ready?

Putrajaya has decided to lower the voting age from 21 to 18. By the next general election, it is very likely that 18-year-olds can cast their votes. Are the youths ready to take on this responsibility? Is Malaysia ready to face a new massive and influential and young voting block once the amendment is passed?

Join us for the debate between YB Syed Saddiq and Mr. Ragunath Kesavan to discuss how ready are we for Undi 18.
