Power of youth
On Sunday night, almost 15 teenagers
armed with T-shirts, caps, flowers and
pastries stormed the Bangsar Baru night
market. While traders were peddling their
goods, these bunch of youths wearing Youth
for Shahrizat T-shirts stopped passers-by
telling them to come out to vote on polling
day, and to vote for Shahrizat, the incumbent
MP for Lembah Pantai.
Excuse me, do you live in Bangsar? Vote
for Kak Shahrizat okay?
Munirah Kader Shah, 26, is the founder of
Youth for Shahrizat. Just over a week ago, this
public relations senior executive was just
going about her life as usual.
She, however, decided that she wants to be
involved in the general election. Gathering
other young people from the area, Munirah
started organising daily meetings at nearby
mamak spots after work where they would
plan their strategies to spread the good word
about Shahrizat to anyone willing to listen.
I wanted to be part of the elections
because we (youths) matter ... this is our
