Makkal Sakti aims to change youths mindset

Party president R.S Thanenthiran said young people need to realise that politics is not something "dirty".

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party (MMSP) will focus on political transformation among the younger generation in the hope of moulding them as effective leaders within culturally diverse communities.

Party founder and president, R.S. Thanenthiran said there was also a need to change the mindsets of young people that politics was not something “dirty” and ensure that more of them would support Barisan Nasional.

“We should mould them to suit our leadership capacity building to achieve goals such as creating a progressive Indian community by 2020,” he sad.

Thanenthiran noted that political transformation of youth would be among the agenda at the party’s annual general meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre here today to be attended by about 1,200 delegates and observers.

Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor is scheduled to open the AGM.

Other issues to be touched at the PWTC gathering are building Sekolah Menengah Tamil in states with high Indian population, helping pupils at Tamil schools and owning a 20-storey building for the party.
