PM: Govt may override Johor’s youth age policy

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Govern­ment will override Johor’s policy to maintain the definition of youth as “someone up to 40 years old’’ if it is found that the decision was made under the influence of the palace, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“The palace has no right to interfere. If we find that this is the result of palace interference, we will override it,” the Prime Minister said, adding that Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal had not given his official explanation on the issue.
