Don’t rush into politics at young age, says PKR’s Wong Chen

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Subang MP Wong Chen has discouraged the younger generation from rushing into politics, citing a lack of reliable role models in Malaysia’s political sphere.

The PKR man said it would be better off for them to gain several years of experience building their own career before entering politics.

“The first thing you must do is not enter politics at a young age. You should go and get married, have children and work in the corporate sector for a few years, 10 years at least.

“If you still feel strongly about politics (after 10 years), then enter politics,” he said in response to a question at the Asean Youth Economic Forum 2025 today.
