Youth For Change Voters Registration Drive at Anwar Ibrahim

Dear all,

There will be a youth event organised Youth For Change which is supported by the State Government at One Utama this Saturday. It’s an all-day voter registration drive with live music, film screenings and more. So, if you know anyone who has yet to register to vote, there is no better time than this Saturday. If not, you can come and enjoy the music!

A frequently cited statistic from 2006 stated that 70% of the 4.7 million Malaysians yet to register as voters are aged between 21 and 35 years. At the same time, the young people of the Klang Valley are becoming increasingly concerned about social and political issues, from the environment to education, human rights to personal safety.

Registering to vote is an important step to entering adulthood and taking responsibility for the society in which we live in. Unfortunately, voter registration is usually a dull and boring affair, making it easier for the young to brush their duty aside.

The Youth For Change Carnival aims to change that. With performances by top Malaysian independent musicians such as Bittersweet, Couple, Seven Collar T-Shirt, Liyana Fizi, Robot Asmara, Reza Salleh, Ika and many more, the Youth For Change Carnival aims to draw in thousands of youths from around the Klang Valley. At the carnival, those who have yet to register to vote will be able to do so easily at attractively designed booths, while standing a chance to win numerous prizes as well as freebies.

In addition to live music, the Youth For Change Carnival will also feature a mini flea market showcasing creative fashion and art by young designers. As part of the day’s festivities, short films made by young Malaysian filmmakers will be screened, including the popular 15Malaysia shorts that have been a hit on the Internet. Popular young actors, musicians, artists and bloggers will also be meeting their fans at the carnival.

Above all, the aim of the Youth For Change Carnival is to bring the young people of the Klang Valley together to enjoy fun, healthy and creative day that will also leave them empowered. The purpose might be to attract the young to register to vote, but we plan to do it with music, movies and fashion, not politics.

Langkah yang sungguh bijak. Anak2 muda lah yang bakal membawa perubahan politik didalam negara kita. Nak harapkan generasi tua2, sememangnya mereka sudah susah untuk mempengaruhi membawa perubahan.

Anak2 muda lah yang dirasakan lebih proactive membawa perubahan didalam landscape politik negara kerana anak2 muda tentunya lebih suka kerajaan yang benar2 bersih,cekap, amanah, jujur,telus, adil dan kerajaan yang benar2 menghapuskan salahlaku dan salahguna kuasa didalam pentadbiran dan jugak kerajaan yang benar2 membela nasib rakyat keseluruhannya terlebuh dahulu dari kepentingan perot diri sendiri, keluarga dan sahabat handai!

Janganlah asik dengan kemeriahan carnival sahaja. Anak2 muda begini wajar didedahkan kesemua perjuangan Pakatan Rakyat. Adakan acara2 besar2an kempen kesedaran anak2 muda begini sebagai susulan carnival tersebut! Anak2 muda sahajalah yang lebih waras menilai perjuangan murni Pakatan Rakyat.

Buatlah kempen keseluruh negara, ditiap2 bandar dan desa dan hingga keperdalaman sana. Taborkan cd2 ceramah2 yang telah dipersembahkan pemidato2 Pakatan Rakyat yang handal supaya anak2 muda ini semua dapat kesedaran.

Syabas, moga berjaya!
