MY short stint as a trainee teacher coincided with the 14th General Election and I was able to see how election fever gripped the classrooms. Hence, I can confidently say that our young adults are certainly rooting for the voting age to be lowered to 18.

The gumption of the Pakatan Harapan government to table a bill to amend Article 119(1) of the Federal Constitution for this purpose deserves plaudits.
