KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Chief of Sabah PKR Youth, Mohammad Mirza Muazzam, called for greater youth representation ahead of the 17th Sabah State Election.

With over half of Sabah’s population under 40, he said young voices must be part of decision-making, not just spectators.

He urged political parties to field qualified, credible candidates who are closely connected with their communities.

Mirza emphasized that combining youthful idealism with experienced leadership is key to fresh, resilient governance that truly reflects the aspirations of the people.
