Gerakan Youth has urged the party to field new faces, especially those from the wing in the 13th general election.

Its chief, Lim Si Pin, said it would be wise for the party to bank on candidates below 40 and definitely those from Gerakan Youth would certainly be committed if selected.

“Hence, Gerakan Youth hopes the candidates selected should be new faces and competitive in pursuing the party's struggle,” he told reporters at Menara PGRM in Kuala Lumpur today.

On the Gerakan national delegates’ conference on Saturday and Sunday, he said among motions that would be tabled were the Malaysia Education Blueprint, the rare earth project and the general election strategy.

Lim said the conference would be opened to the public, particularly students, as observers.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is also Barisan Nasional chairperson, is scheduled to open the conference at Menara PGM where 1,091 delegates were expected to attend.
