Speaking to FMT, she said the youths of today were largely united and cared for one another. Many of those who had nothing to do with #UndiRosak were taking note of the harsh criticism and linking it to Pakatan, she added.

She warned that the opposition coalition was in danger of losing their support.

“After seeing how PH supporters have treated the campaigners, they are now wondering if this is how PH treats the youth,” she said.

She acknowledged that some Pakatan members had objected to criticism against the campaigners, but she said their voices had not been loud enough.

She also warned Pakatan that youths could be swayed by Barisan Nasional’s election promises, such as the one made recently by Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Mansor.

According to Tunku Adnan, a 1,200-unit apartment building was being built specifically for youths.

“It will have various basic facilities such as a hall, surau, parking spaces and futsal courts,” Bernama quoted the minister as saying. “Tenants need to pay rental of RM800 for five years to DBKL. We will keep RM300 from the amount as a deposit for them and this will be returned once they can afford to buy their own homes through the Federal Territories Affordable Housing Programme.”

Anis said that although youths were indeed aware that BN was trying to buy their votes, many didn’t mind it because economic survival was important to them.

“Many youths are thinking about how to survive and how to get the most benefits out of whoever is contesting,” she said.

“It’s all about political awareness and education. That’s the most important thing if you want to build a healthy political mindset among today’s youths and teach them why selling their votes is wrong.”

However, she also claimed that many young people who had applied for and received the BR1M aid were nevertheless supporting Pakatan.
