Last Saturday, more than 200 people marched towards Parliament to protest the Election Commission’s (EC) delay in implementing the lowering of the voting age from 21to 18. This is following the announcement by the EC that the implementation of Undi18 has been postponed to September 2022. It was supposed to come into effect by July 2021. Some of the protesters were later called in by the authorities. 

We speak to a member from Parti Sosialis Malaysia, who attended the rally and was called in by the police, for investigation.
