BINTULU: Private sector companies should follow the good example of Bintulu Port Sdn Bhd (BPSB) in organising a voter registration exercise for its employees.
Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth vice-chief Pandi Suhaili said this was one of the ways to facilitate registration of young voters.
“We (PBB Youth) hope that more private sector companies will follow the initiative taken by BPSB.
“We are prepared to assist by sending our members to be appointed as assistant registrar of voters to their office,” he said.
According to him, the level of awareness among young people who are eligible to be voters is low, and it requires the efforts of employers, whether in public or private sector, to rectify this.
