The Umno vice-president says young voters care less about past achievements, and more about integrity, sustainability, and real commitment to their future.
00:00The next general election will be a major test for UMNO on whether it can adapt to meet the expectations of younger voters or risk being left behind, says party vice president Johari Ghani.

00:26Johari added that young voters evaluate leaders based on their commitment to current and future issues, including environmental concerns and leadership integrity.
00:36He said young voters want to see leaders speak up not just for local issues, but on global challenges, too.
00:43He added that they place strong emphasis on integrity and credibility and want to see how committed a leader is to serving the people.
00:51Johari urged UMNO youth and Putri UMNO to act as a bridge between generations, helping the party reconnect with youth and shape policies that reflect their priorities.
01:01He said young voices must be heard and given space to contribute valuable input to the party's leadership.
