SCOFF! Wat??? Malaysian youths... ~sigh~

...am a registered voter, and have been for a few years now. Have a lot to voice out, especially about the country's political situation and decisions made. But let's get down to earth - Who in the right mind will take the youths (aged 30 and below) seriously?! WHO?! Sure there are efforts to encourage speaking up like through newspapers and certain bodies, but how effective are these? Take this comment now. It's nothing but a mere rant that'll go unnoticed. Do you seriously think that the PM or his assistants will be reading all these?!

It's the fact that the people up there do not take us seriously, or there's no proper channel to voice our opinions that's keeping people like me reserved. As a young Malaysian, I honestly feel helpless!

"You say that the young are the hope of the nation, but then you put so many restrictions and policies that in 'your' opinion would benefit us, but how far have you researched? It's not about asking the opinions of a selected or a handful of youths, but what about the vast majority of 'EVERYDAY' Malaysian youths?!"

Is our government really open?! You ask yourself that... Very often they say they are, they listen... but do they really?! Even to adults they don't! What more to say to the youths?! Where do everyday youths stand in society... Malaysian society??? And yet, we're supposed to be leaders of tomorrow???! Scoff!

POWER 2 DA YOUTHS!
