KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s MPs on Tuesday (July 16) approved a legal amendment to lower the voting age to 18, from 21 previously.

The amendment was passed by all 211 lawmakers present in the Lower House of Parliament, marking the first Bill in Parliament to receive multi-partisan support since the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government took power in May last year.

Better than singkieland whereby at 18, basically still kids must serve NS . And can shoot to kill. But cannot vote
 
If a kid has to defend the country at 18, then he should be allowed to vote.
 
Sanction by the state and trained to kill at 18 but cannot vote, cannot buy cigarettes and cannot consume alcohol in public.
