I has been attracted to politics since the late 1990s when i was a teengaer. Back then, there had been calls fo the young to koin politics amid teh Reformasi and issues surrounding former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Young people talk about human rights and freedom. They ahve access to so much information and so quickly. However, i was only able to see the bigger picture after becoming active in politics years later.
Looking back on those year when i myself was apolitical, it was important for politicians to move in the circle of the younger generation to understand their needs, aspirations and also frustrations before they (politicians) try to rope them in .
Be a good listener before you expect them to listen to you. let them know that crying won't help solve problems. What is important is the diagnosis that can help find the solutions.
