Q1: More citizens have a right to vote in general election because of the policy
change this year,  what do you think about？
A1:Yes, citizens should have the right to vote for the general election as different
parties promote different policies.

A1:I think it’s people should have a right to vote.

A1:I think that younger citizen in Malaysia should have the rights to give opinion
too and to vote. As example now citizens from the age of 18 can vote. Although
young, they too need to help with the improvement of our country.

Q2: What did you prepare for this general election?

A2:Watching news to know about the situation among those political parties.

A2:I did a lot of research.

A2:I was prepared for big changes in terms of economy in Malaysia.

Q3: Did you take part in any presentations during this election? Or what did you
do to support political party？ 

A3:No

A3:Yes

A3:I did not take any presentations during this election. And I supported Pakatan
Harapan during the election.

Q4: Were there any special events during the voting process？ 

A4:No

A4:Yes there was many events to promote all the political parties.

Q5: The 15th general election was pretty competitive, so the results of election
were announced after 4 days. What was your opinion？

A5:I don't wanna change my name to Mohammad Ali, i have my own name. You
can't just change my name like that.

A5:It’s very nervous and hope there’ll have a good result.

A5:I think the results took time due to the “hang parliament” which means there
were two parties that had almost equal amount or votes. I think it was great that
they took time to analyse which party was better for malaysia as this process
shouldn’t be rushed.
Q6: Some people say that lowering the age limit for voters will exacerbate the
problem of misallocation, what do you think? Do you think this new policy will do
more good or more harm?

A6:Yes, young people between 13-18 still studying at local high school, they are
able to vote conveniently and learn about country political situation earlier which
make them understand their country's status more. On the contrast, above 18 years
old voters might study abroad at other country already, its hard to catch their
attention back as well.

A6:Maybe, because a lot of younger don’t have they own opinion and always
follow their parent tell them who to vote.

A6:I think there is both good and harm. Good as in younger people can voice out
their opinions and what they think is better for the youth as example about the
education system in Malaysia that has to be improved. Harm will be that many
younger voters tend to follow their parents choice of party without even thinking
thoroughly on what’s best for Malaysia. To add on, many youngsters that voted got
brain wash through social media due to the influence online.

Q7: As for younger generation, what’s your impressions of these political parties?

A7:Admit the UEC certificate?

A7:Messy.

A7:I think that all of the political parties in Malaysia has their flaws. Non of them
appeal to me but i believe that corruption is one major problem in Malaysia that has
to vanish. I picked the party that which i know that would help to stabilize the
economy in Malaysia and prevent further corruption.
Q8: Overall, how was the voting experience?

A8:Nothing

A8:Feel I had done my responsibility

A8:It was fast and went smoothly. Although the line was long but the process was
easy and didn’t wasted my time.

Q9: Do you know someone who have similar age with you? What do they think
about? Could you give me some examples or show their some experience on
voting? 

A9:Don't know

A9:We will discuss a lot about the political things

A9:Majority of my friends are voting and we all almost have the same point of
view. Although there are a few friends of mine that can vote but did not vote as
they claim that they have no hope in voting as they feel like voting a waste of time.

Q10: Last year, the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18. And it added 5.8
millions of voters. However, there were some citizens who did not vote. What is
your opinion?

A10:Disappointed with the political situation.

A10:I think although some younger vote, maybe they just follow adult that told
them who to vote.
A10:If they don’t vote they can’t complain about the problems Malaysia face as
they did not even try to help in the process of improving. All vote counts. Not
voting will only mean that you either don’t care or selfish. But I strongly dislike
people who are able to vote but choose not too then proceeds to complain about the
government.

Q11: What impact do you think more young people being listed as voters will have
on the election?

A11:Young generation have different thoughts about the election, maybe they can
observe something that we can't see answer try to make some changes.

A11:We would have multiple point of view and not just from the adults.

Q12：From your personal point of view, what were the reasons for lowering the
minimum voting age to 18？

A12:Voters are reducing.

A12:Maybe they think 18 is an age that they can have their own political views.

A12:To let youngsters to have freedom in giving their opinions.

Q13: Which candidate did you support? Were you satisfied with the result of the
vote? （optional question）

A13:Didn't vote

A13:I voted for Syerleena Abdul Rashid which was representating my area for
Parliment Bukit Bendera Penang. Yes I am satisfied with the results but, I have to
wait and see first on how much she and the winning party will improve Malaysia
in-order to be completely satisfied.
