Youths Aged 18 Can Now Stand For Election In Penang


 
The law reducing the minimum age for an election candidate to 18 received bipartisan support from Penang state assemblymen today. (CM Office Pic)GEORGE TOWN: Penang has passed a law allowing those aged 18 and above to be candidates for state seats in the next polls.
In an amendment to the state’s constitution today, the present age cap of 21 to be a member of the legislative assembly was reduced to 18 after bipartisan support from the 40-seat assembly.
The amendment involves amending Article 12 of the Penang State Constitution, which concerns the requirements to be a member of the House.
The amendment was moved by Soon Lip Chee (PH-Bagan Jermal), who said Penang will be the seventh state after Sabah, Perlis, Terengganu, Sarawak, Kelantan and Perak to permit those aged 18 and above to stand for election.
He said, however, only two states — Sabah and Perak — have put in force the laws to lower the age cap to 18. He did not say when Penang will put in force the same.
Soon said in Penang, a survey by his office showed 65% or 2,261 respondents supported the move to lower the age cap, while 35% or 1,214 said no to the plan.
A total of 3,475 people participated in the online survey held between December and June, with the respondents aged 15 to 35.
Citing the statistics department which stated that 35% or 624,000 of the state’s population of 1.77 million were aged 15 to 34, Soon said it was therefore imperative that they be allowed the chance to take on an active role in Penang’s politics.
“The move will also bring us on par with countries like Australia, Canada and the UK in allowing those above 18 to contest in elections,” he said.
The Election Commission reported that there were 5.6 million people aged 18 and above who have yet to register as voters, and of the number, 1.2 million were between the ages of 18 and 20. - FMT
