24-year-old Cherishe Ng set to make waves in S’wak polls - superadmin - 12-12-2021 KUALA LUMPUR – Will a 24-year-old politician make a splash in Batu Lintang during the campaign period before Sarawak heads to the polls on December 18? Sarawak PKR’s Cherishe Ng Phuay Hui is going up against four older men but believes she has a winning chance to make a difference in the Batu Lintang state constituency. “I am the youngest candidate going up against four older men, two of which are in their golden years, with experience, but I believe I can do just as well. “PKR has been advocating for youths to be in the forefront, and acknowledges that we are the future generation to lead the nation,” she told The Vibes. “For example, in the Melaka election, campaigning had to be done via social media due to the health standard operating procedures, which gave the younger generation the opportunity to contribute ideas about it.” Ng highlighted that none of the 82 incumbents in Sarawak were under 30 and half of them are in the retirement age group. - More -
