PETALING JAYA: DAP's Youth wing (Dapsy) is in discussions to lower its membership age limit from 35 to 30, following Putrajaya's new definition of youth as being from the ages of 15 to 30.

Youth chief Howard Lee said the party is holding preliminary discussions on the feasibility, mechanism and the impact of the move.that Putrajaya's transition from 40 to 30 does not affect political parties as they are not registered under the Registrar of Youth Society, but he sees the value for Dapsy to follow suit.

Lee said he is in support of the move as the challenges during the transition phase is a minor setback for the survival and rejuvenation of Dapsy. "Not only did Dapsy come back from strength to strength despite huge resistance from the grassroots, we are the first Dapsy that is in government at both the federal and state level," he added.

Lee, who is also Perak exco for youth, sports and human capital development, said the move to"return" the voting rights to those aged 18 to 21 was a long time coming.
