PETALING JAYA: Uncertainties over the future, in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, are causing youths to vent their frustrations on streets over the country’s economic, health and leadership crisis, says a sociologist.
Syed Farid Alatas said young people were aware that the government is not managing the country well, especially after the surge in Covid-19 cases and deaths.
“There is a lockdown but despite that cases keep going up. It is building a lot of frustration among them,” he told FMT.
He said young Malaysians were concerned not only about their career and jobs but “there is a perception that the health system is not able to cope with the pandemic.”
