ANWAR Ibrahim has slammed the group behind ‘Parti Aku Malas Undi’ as an irresponsible lot over their drive to discourage young voters from going out to vote in the coming general election (GE15). 

When asked by reporters about the issue, the Pakatan Harapan chairman also said the drive was an attempt “to stop the advancement of the Malays”. 

“(It’s) an irresponsible act because it would mean (they) are denying (a person’s) right to determine the course of the nation.” 

Anwar said that if people did not vote, they would only be sacrificing their interests as they would not be picking the people who would manage and be responsible for their future. 

“Whether you vote or you don’t vote, the policies will affect you, your parents and your children. It is therefore imperative that you exercise your right,” said Anwar, who will be contesting the parliamentary seat of Tambun. – November 8, 2022.
