Liew: More than 50% of M'sians eligible to vote if voting age reduced from 21 to 18

PETALING JAYA: More than 50% of Malaysians would be eligible to vote in the next general election, if amendments to the laws are passed to lower the voting age from 21 to 18.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong said it would be the most important historical development post-Merdeka, as those aged 18 and above would be eligible to decide on the next government.
