MIC youth members to get age extended from 40 to 45 years

KUALA LUMPUR: The age limit for MIC youth and its exco members will be extended from 40 years to 45.

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said this was in order to let more people join in the wing and enable the party to have a new generation of leaders.

He said a committee that had been set up to look into the amendment to the party's constitution had completed its report and would table it to the MIC general assembly on Sept 12 for approval.

"This is important as MIC gears up its preparations for the next general election, where over two million voters will vote for the first time," he said in his speech at the opening of the meeting for MIC Wanita, Youth and other wings here today. - Bernama
