KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — Indian youths in Malaysia are feeling increasingly marginalised, facing systemic discrimination in education, employment, and housing that leaves many feeling politically alienated, according to a new report by think tank Iman Research.

The report, titled Kami Orang Sini Juga — Indian Youth Report, launched today, highlights that this demographic is an “under-mobilised constituency” whose concerns have long been overlooked by policymakers and the political establishment.

Based on in-depth interviews with 111 Indian youths nationwide, the study paints a stark picture of the hurdles these young Malaysians face from an early age, ranging from racial hostility in schools to precariousness in the housing and labour markets.
