Undi18 will define the next election – Vasanthi Ramachandran

[superadmin]

OUR nation’s future narrative may be rewritten by 18-21 year-old voters from their laptops, tablets, and smartphones in the next election. These youths are the ones who are beginning to redraft the constitution to possibly redefine “Malaysians with an equitable identity”.

In 2016, two students, Qyira Yusri and Tharma Pillai, started the Undi18 campaign to amend the federal constitution to allow those 18 to 21 years old to vote and run for public office.

“I started Undi18 when I was 20. I wanted to be able to vote then, but like millions of young Malaysians I too was locked out of elections at a time when democracy matters so much,” said Tharma.

This team will go down in history books, provided the story is told as it is.
