You need brains to do it (UPDATED)

If they want to fight us they need to employ people with brains, not unemployed and unemployable Malays. You need to fight brains with brains. You can’t fight against brains by mere spitting and cursing like what the Umno Cyber Troopers are doing. Let’s face it, we are winning the Cyber War. And the next general election is going to prove this, like it was proven in March 2008 during the last general election.

How far will jobless youth rock the ballot box?

POLLS FOCUS Hoping for a regime change on the back of youth disenchantment in the event of a snap general election? You may be disappointed.

However, according to analysts, brewing issues such as growing youth unemployment are bound to punch some holes in the ruling coalition's vote bank.

More worrying, however, is the growing number of unemployed graduates, who make up 60 percent of the total unemployment figures.
