PETALING JAYA: Contrary to popular belief that young voters are being easily influenced by their parents, it is these youth who live outside their constituencies who are influencing their parents’ voting decisions, says an Umno supreme council member.

Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi (pic) said while those who stay in their areas are easily approachable, outside voters are more likely to be influenced by social media that provide convenient, compact, concise, and interesting content.
