DEPUTY Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abd Halim advised all parties involved in the August 12 state elections not to employ dirty politics to approach youth, as it may result in the group losing interest in the voting process. 

“Do not create a situation where these first-time voters are exposed to toxic politics such as accusations and harsh insults. Instead, give them a chance to see politics as a good platform for progress,” he said.

“All those directly involved in the state elections, such as political parties and political leaders including myself, should campaign in a healthy manner that is beneficial to the youth,” he told reporters after launching National Sports Day in Kangar today.

Also present were Perlis youth and sports exco Muhammad Azmir Azizan, Indera Kayangan incumbent Gan Ay Ling, and Perlis Youth and Sports Department director Nizam Mat Daud.

Adam Adli, who is also PKR Youth chief, said youngsters should vote in the state polls as it would be a good opportunity to express their opinions.

“I hope young voters will compare and choose their candidates in a healthy way,” he said. – Bernama, July 9, 2023.
