Malaysia must be the only country in the world where 'youth' leaders can be a grandfather.

I read with interest the report in yesterday's Star that says the Malaysian Association of Youth Councils wants to limit its members to those below 50. I would have thought 30 or 35 would be a better limit.

The problem with 'youth' organisations in this country is that most of them are used as a stepping board by ageing politicians for their career. Do they know what the youth (the real ones) in this country actually want?
