Youth wants more democratic space
In conjunction with International Youth Day, Malaysian youth came together in a youth walk with the theme “Youth, it’s time to take action now”.
Despite of freedom of assembly is very lacking in Malaysia, a group of 35 youth decided to celebrate the International Youth Day in Bukit Bintang by organizing a youth walk.
This youth walk was organized by National Youth Consultation Conference (NYCC), a coalition that advocates for youth issues. It is made up of Youth for Change (Y4C), Persatuan Kesedaran Komuniti Selangor (Empower), Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM), National Young Lawyers Committee (NYLC) and the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall Youth Section (KLSCAH Youth).

青年学生要求更多民主空间

th general election has brought a wave of changes – for better or worse – to the current political climate. Questions that arise in every one’s mind is where this new administration will take us all, and issues such as accountability, corruption and appropriate use of resources are more pertinent than ever.
And youths are certainly not any less concerned about these issues, nor are they any less willing to have a fair share of say in the governance of Malaysia. In fact, the role of youths in these new changes which we see now cannot be denied.

International Youth Day 2008 – It’s Time to Take Action
These are interesting times. The outcome of the 12th General Election has brought a wave of changes – for better or worse – to the current political climate. Questions that arise in every one’s mind is where this new administration will take us all, and issues such as accountability, corruption, appropriate use of resources are more pertinent than ever. And youths are certainly not any less concerned about these issues, nor are they any less willing to have a fair share of say in the governance of Malaysia. In fact, the role of youths in these new changes which we see now cannot be denied. Together with people more adult than them, hordes of youths came up, volunteered their time and energy to inform, exchange and organize collective action to demand changes in the administration of this country. Whether it was teams of youths under non-governmental organisations and student groups or lone individuals exchanging information on Facebook, youths had strong opinions on the governance of this country. And they remain to have strong opinions and concerns about Malaysia’s destiny.

Dear members in the NYCC,
Greetings from the secretariat!
After the 12th General Election, the political landscape in Malaysia has change. Some of the state governments are fall into the opposition parties. It is a great opportunity for us to assert our agenda to the new states government.
If we want our voices heard. Then we need to prepare ourselves with the position papers or memorandum about the issues that related to the youth. For example, the abolishment of UUCA, the establishment of Youth Parliament in the state level, the free education and some other agenda that we put in the Youth Agenda for Change.
Actually, the civil society already came out with the mechanism for the election at the local council. The women group also come out with their demands. CIJ also will push for their Freedom of Information Act. I think youth can focus on the youth parliament, abolishment of UUCA etc.
