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.

We shall engage with all the parliamentarian who support us. Furthermore, we can work together with the state government if they are interested with our proposal such as Youth Parliament in the state level. It can be a important mechanism to train the youth leaders who equip with the capability to debate, policy formation and articulation.

More important will be throw out your idea to us. We will call for a meeting in these few days in order to collect all the proposals from different individuals and organizations. I welcome the member organizations under the National Youth Consultation Conference (NYCC) to submit their proposals as well.

Therefore, the secretariat decided to call for a meeting to follow up the post General Election. Following are the details of the meeting,

NYCC Meeting to Follow-up Post Election Situation
Date: 24 March 2008 (Monday)
Time: 8pm – 10pm
Venue: KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.

Kindly to let me know whether you can make it or not. Thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,
