Youth leaders and representatives from various organizations are invited to attend the Conference to share their thoughts on how the youth groups can work together, how it could work better and be more inclusive before, during and byond the coming General Election. The youth voices and perspectives have always been ignored by the political parties and authorities whereby they are lack of comprehensive and wholesome focus of policies, programmes and activities on youth issues.

1110 BERSIH DEMO, The largest political protest in nearly a decade erupted in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur.

1110 BERSIH DEMO, The largest political protest in nearly a decade erupted in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur.





The rally was the largest political demonstration in Malaysia since supporters of Anwar Ibrahim, then deputy prime minister, protested for several days in September 1998.

That demonstration was in protest at Ibrahim's dismissal from the cabinet and ruling party by Mahathir Mohamad, who was then prime minister.

Anwar later founded the People's Justice Party, one of three opposition parties involved in the latest demonstration.

"It is a good signal that Malaysians want freedom and democracy, and they want free and fair elections," he said.

However, Najib Razak, Malaysia's deputy prime minister, said the government would not tolerate illegal assembly. (Please read fully article at http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/72EFBCFD-6A34-4B82-BD57-BB69ADA7C763.htm)
