Anti-corruption themed campaign proved beneficial to Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional, says Undi18 co-founder theSun theSundaily news GE15Malaysia GE15 PerikatanNasional Undi18

Malaysian youths have played their part in exercising their rights through the ballot boxes during the 15th general election . Thus, the onus is on each political party to educate and inform young voters, especially first-timers, on their stand and intended reforms that could be in favour of this targeted group, said Undi18 co-founder Tharma Pillai.

Universiti Utara Malaysia political analyst Assoc Prof Dr Mohd Aizzuddin Mohd Sani said some 85,000 first-time voters, who make up nearly 800,000 individuals aged 40 and below in Kedah, had thrown their support behind PN, which won 13 of 14 parliamentary seats in Kedah and captured most of the northern states, breaking Barisan Nasional’s standing in the last six decades.

He added that with the lowering of the voting age to 18, and automatic voter registration in effect, there were an estimated 6.23 million new voters in GE15. She said it was still unclear whether the prevailing negative perception of political institutions would push youths towards the frontline or deter them from taking up the challenge.
