Malaysia's Minister for Youth and Sport - Syed Saddiq
Can Asia's youngest cabinet minister force change in a country run by the world's oldest Prime Minister? Is it time to skip a generation?
Until last year, Malaysia hadn't experienced a real change of government in the sixty years since independence. Prime Minister Mahatir, sailing back into power in opposition colours, can remember when Malaysia threw off the British colonial yoke. He was in his thirties then. Now in his 90s, he says next year he'll hand over to a former rival in his 70s. Malaysia鈥檚 Minister of Youth and Sport, Syed Saddiq, is the youngest cabinet minister in Asia at 26. Is it time to skip a generation?
