Youths eager to be heard

LETTERS: Last week, before wrapping up class, I asked my students what they were most looking forward to with the next government, regardless of who wins the 15th General Election.

Overwhelmingly and interestingly, they mentioned their mobility and job security. They said if these two things were fixed, they would not mind being employed outside of their field of study.

I asked them this because they are part of a wave of first-time voters.

Along the hallways of the School of Mass Communication, their conversations about polling day could be heard. The topics range from planning their outfits to the voting station, setting up post-voting luncheon with friends, to who would win in their constituencies.
