Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) Vice Chief Mohammad Mirza Muazzam hopes the party leadership will consider young candidates who can bring fresh perspectives to the state assembly.
“If Keadilan wants to emerge as the party of the future, then the party must be brave enough to place that future on the shoulders of the younger generation,” he said.
Mirza, who is also Kinabatangan Keadilan Information Chief, pointed out the urgency of including young voices in decision-making positions rather than relegating them to the sidelines.
“This is no longer the time for them (youths) to just be spectators. Young people are ready to become key players on the State’s political stage,” he said.
He noted the demographic reality whereby more than half of Sabah’s population is under 40 years old.
He said this represents an opportunity that cannot be overlooked if the State genuinely wants to build a prosperous and inclusive future.
Mirza called on the party leadership to boldly field qualified young candidates who possess the necessary credentials, integrity and strong community connections.
Additionally, he spoke about the importance of selecting candidates who understand the pulse of the people and can effectively communicate policies in accessible language.
“This is not just about age, but about courage, vision and capability. Many among them (youths) have already proven their abilities through social activism, reform movements and grassroots work with communities,” he said.
He advocated for combining youthful energy and idealism with existing leadership wisdom, describing this as the key to creating a fresh, bold and resilient administration.
He said this approach is essential for renewing the State’s development narrative and moving beyond outdated frameworks.
