Has Pakatan’s shine worn off? As Rantau votes, youths lament lack of jobs, opportunities

For youths in Rantau, both BN and PH’s campaigns have just been focused on issues of race, politics and the credibilities of Dr S. Streram and Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan from BN. “Either they lack the proper qualification to seek better employment or those who do have, failed to seek a job that provides a proper career in the field that they had studied in.
Earlier in the campaign, Dr Streram had pledged to bring in investors to create a tertiary education centre in the district, while PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he will ensure major developments in Port Dickson will have a spillover effect in the district. “We won't be so mad if they weren't so dismissive about the whole thing. First, you promised us PTPTN would be abolished, then you come back and tell us that we should pay our debts and be merciful to others who want to borrow from PTPTN?
This was also indicated by a recent survey released by Ilham Centre last Thursday that credited Mohamad's credibility as a potential win in the by-election.
