Young people taking to the streets out of frustration, says expert - superadmin - 08-03-2021 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.” - More -
