Democracy Lesson A47: Are you ready to vote?
In July 2019, Malaysia amended Article 47(1) of the Federal Constitution which lowered the voting age from twenty-one to eighteen. Acknowledging the fact that the Federal Constitution is the supreme law of Malaysia and not many secondary school students are equipped with sufficient knowledge of the Constitution, UMCT collaborated with SMK Seri Pantai to educate the students pertaining to the Malaysian democracy system and why it matters.
This was the very first time UM CONSTI TEAM organised a collaborative outreach programme to educate and enlighten schooling teens about their rights under the Constitution. In light of the success of this outreach, UM CONSTI TEAM wishes to partake in more collaborative outreach to help people of our nation to know their rights under the Constitution.
A huge gratitude to Mr. Louis Liaw for spending this time to share his thoughts and visions with students of SMK Seri Pantai and we are utmostly grateful to SMK Seri Pantai for giving us the platform to share our visions on the Constitution.
Palace of Justice Trip
On 12 November 2019, UM Consti Team successfully organised an educational trip with a total of 36 participants. This inspiring trip provided our participants with a peek of the real legal world. Therefore, we would like to express our greatest gratitude to Badan Kehakiman Malaysia & The Malaysian Judiciary for having us.
