Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen said while many young people tend to see politics as meant for older generations, this attitude should change. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: Sarawak DAP hopes to field the youngest team of candidates for the state polls next month, including a Gen Z candidate, says state party leader Chong Chieng Jen.
He said DAP hopes to include a candidate born after 2000. He said young people should not have their views represented only by politicians in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
“Young people have their own views and perspectives on life and how the government and country should be run,” he was quoted as saying by Dayak Daily tonight.
Chong said the potential candidate had shown some interest in politics but still needed encouragement to contest. He stressed that no official announcement would be made until she confirmed her readiness to do so.
