What Penang youths want from the next state govt FMTNews FMTEng
Penangites cast their ballots for the state election on Saturday, with nearly 300,000 of the 1.23 million registered voters aged between 18 and 29.
A Permatang Pauh native, who wanted to be known only as Angah, 29, said some companies and factories seemed to prefer hiring foreigners over locals. Azam, who is attending a teachers’ training college, hoped whoever formed the next Penang government would bring in more investments to “under-invested” Seberang Perai Utara.
The Juru native said she had been rejected for jobs in the past for not being a “native Mandarin speaker” despite being proficient in the language. The 30-year-old human resources executive said he was lucky his house was spared during these two incidents but wondered whether he would be as lucky the next time around.
