A political awakening for many first-time voters

KOTA KINABALU: For first-time voters, Saturday will be a day to remember.

Rowena Vannesa Roger, 23, said before Undi18 was passed, she was unaware of the importance of voting although she always felt excited about elections.

“Through awareness programmes, we were guided on how to choose our future leaders. These people have to be responsible and help the people in various aspects,” she said during a programme on the importance of voting in Putatan here on Saturday night. “The right leaders will ensure that youth are not bogged down by socioeconomic burdens through proper governance and implementation of policies,” she added.

“Now, we are more aware of our right to speak up and how we too can determine the direction of our country,” she said.
