Young voters underscore need for education and exposure

JOHOR BARU: There is a critical need to educate youth on politics and their voting rights, say the voters who were the first to cast their ballots as Undi18 voters in the Johor elections in March last year.

“I cast my vote for the first time when I was 19 years old. Thankfully, I had some understanding of politics because of Pengajian Am (General Studies) in Form Six. And I kept myself up to date with the news,” said Wong Jun Kai, 20.
