I HAD an interesting conversation with a young woman from Generation Z recently. The conversation revolved around politics, I had been away in a momentous year for Malaysians and I was curious to know what youths really think about the New Malaysia.
As she and her generation can only vote in the next elections, she was opinionated on reducing the voting age to 18, arguing that doing so without including the subject of Constitution and rights in the school’s curriculum would only breed a new generation of brainwashed voters.
