Calon muda PH cerminkan perubahan pengundi, kata Chiew
Chiew Choon Man yang dipilih sebagai Ahli Parlimen pada usia 31 tahun sebelum dilantik sebagai timbalan menteri mahu calon muda diberi peluang membuktikan kemampuan.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) has narrowed down the list of candidate youths for the PRN Melaka election set to take place on November 14, 2023. The selected candidates include Muhammad Mukhlisul Mubin Julasapiyah, 24, from Kuala Linggi; Farzana Hayani Nasir, 26, from Kelebang; Jason Tze-Xi Nathan, 31, from Pengkalan Batu; and Denesh Palasubramaniam, 37, from Asahan.
This decision, announced by Chiew Choon Man, Deputy Chairman of PH Youth, aims to ensure that the elected representatives reflect the changing demographic of voters, especially after the introduction of Undi18 and the automatic voter registration system. Chiew emphasized that this move gives the younger generation an opportunity to prove their leadership abilities and bring fresh perspectives in addressing current challenges.
He also believes that the decision to support young candidates is a bold step that deserves appreciation, considering that many national figures have started their leadership careers at a young age. Chiew, who also serves as the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, shared that being elected as the Member of Parliament for Miri at the age of 31 allowed him to learn the intricacies of governance, understand the fundamentals, and handle the daily needs of the populace.
He also highlighted the roles of Adam Adli and Ginie Lim in managing PH's campaign in Melaka, noting that both individuals gained national recognition in their early 20s.
