THE 12th general election saw many young people coming into the political scene. For 28-year-old Teratai state assemblyman Jenice Lee, the emergence of these young politicians is the future of Malaysia.
Lee: It is something the people have chosen for me based on the work I have done for the community
“I think it is the trend that fits the world today. The older generation of politicians have the experience but the younger ones have the sense and mood of what is more relevant to the people.
“What we need is for both generations to work together,” she said.
“One of my principles is to do good but not at the expense of other people. As a human being, you must have guts to do the things that will allow you to move forward in life.
“Being a woman in politics, I may have to work twice as hard to prove I can do the job but it is something people have chosen me for based on the work I have done for the community,” said Lee
Lee has been a DAP member for the last seven years and was Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun’s political secretary from 2004 to 2005. She is also the DAP Teratai Community Centre director.
