Reason for political apathy


LAST week’s article “Tidak apa attitude rules” (StarEducation, March 14) reminded me of my own political outlook. People get involved in a system only when they believe their actions will make a difference. 

My political outlook as a young Malaysian was formed when I was in secondary school. I am a Gen-X/Y child who used to be quite ignorant of politics. I was interested in politics in Form One through Form Three, but after that I stopped following the news because it makes local politics boring.
