He said young people aged 18 and above were very mature and could tell the difference between right and wrong.
“They can see what happened during (the 2018 general election) and I believe they will make their best decision and help to stabilise the government based on their votes,” he said in a television interview tonight.
He said social media was the biggest challenge in the coming general election as it was very influential.

At the 2018 elections, social media were focused on viral messages through Whatsapp, “and today we see it has shifted towards TikTok”, he said.
“Social media is the main challenge for GE15, and it is also a medium that will play an important role in the future,” Saravanan said.
He said prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob had dissolved Parliament and called for elections because of a lack of political stability, which had affected investors.
“Now voters need to help us to maintain political stability. We should not repeat history by changing (prime ministers) several times in a single term,” he added.
He said MIC was aware not all young people were into politics, so the party had established the National MIC Brigade to get closer with young people and guide them.
It indirectly gave youth a chance to get close with welfare programmes and assistance to the needy besides being involved in politics. - FMT
