In the last decade, young voters have been credited with the rise of Pakatan Harapan, and its predecessor Pakatan Rakyat, culminating in the coalition sweeping into power in the 2018 general election.

from 21 to 18, part of Harapan's manifesto, was followed through on July 16 with bipartisan support.

However, the data breakdown shows an interesting trend - more younger voters are unhappy with Harapan and conversely, more older voters are happy with the coalition, a trend that was typical of the previous BN ruling coalition., more voters in the age group of 21-30, 31-40 and 41-50 are dissatisfied with Harapan, while more voters in the age group of 51-60 and above 60 are happy with the coalition.

In the age group of 60 and above, 52 percent are happy compared to 28 percent who are angry or dissatisfied. If the election is only called after Parliament expires in 2021, teens who are as young as 14 years old today, would be eligible to vote by then.Despite the unhappiness towards Pakatan Harapan amongst young voters, a majority of them still think the country is moving in the right direction.
