Are youths treated this way in politics?

By: Nur 'Inayah Binti Hanif Salihudin (Assignment 2)


“Cucu, cucu nak mencelah, cucu,” said Tanjung Karang Member of Parliament, Tan Sri Noh Omar when Muar Member of Parliament, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman wanted to intervene in the debate of Langkawi Member of Parliament, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Baling Member of Parliament, Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim then continued: "Tanya Atuk (referring to Dr Mahathir) kenapa dia letak jawatan?" "Boleh mencelah? Syed Saddiq asked before Noh once again interrupted: "Bagi cucu, cucu nak mencelah."

The way Syed Saddiq was ridiculed and belittled in Parliament is a testament to how the views and opinions of youths are often abandoned and ignored by the older generation. Let the youth take over and bring Malaysia to a better place. 

The people chose them to convey the voice of the people but why is the voice of the people disturbed by these dissenting voices? Apart from that, there should be no term for grandchildren, grandparents, children in this hall, because they are all equal, that is, as elected representatives, politics must be mature.


Since the morning, the conference was tumultuous and the voices of 'attacking and being attacked' came from both the opposition and the government, regardless of age. The Dewan Rakyat sitting which took place on Monday recorded various new histories including the appointment of the new Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun. Former Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said was the first woman to be appointed as the Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat.

  1. I agree that the parliament needed more youth so that they could exchange fresh new ideas from the youth and get wise advice from the seniors.
