MCA: Federal says youths are those below 30, Johor says 40 – why?


KUALA LUMPUR: The MCA is questioning why several Pakatan Harapan-led state governments have snubbed the Federal Government's move to define youth as those under 30.

Its president, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic) said he was disappointed with the announcement by the Johor state government that it had decided to maintain the age limit of youths at up to 40 to ensure that its planned development, especially involving the group, would not be disrupted.
