Youth age cap: Johor palace told not to interfere
- 5 years ago
Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has expressed hope that the Johor palace will not interfere in state administrative affairs, after the Johor government made two U-turns in the span of two days on whether it wanted the maximum age for youths to be 30 or 40.
Muhyiddin said he was informed that the palace had given its views on the matter, but believed that the state government should be given the space to implement policies that are consistent across the country.
"I ask the (Johor) menteri besar and state executive council to meet (the palace) to explain the matter. It is hoped that the palace will not interfere. They can give their views, but it will be best if policies can be uniform across all states," he told journalists at the Parliament lobby today.
