Hisham confident varsity students will back Barisan, The Star, Feb 11, 2008
SEREMBAN: The Barisan Nasional is confident of getting the support of university students and fresh graduates in the coming general election.
Its Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said that although undergraduates were usually anti-establishment, he was certain that they would back the ruling coalition this time.
“During the last university elections, the pro-establishment students won in all universities except one. There was a time that the student councils in all universities were anti-establishment,” he pointed out.
Hishammuddin, who is the Education Minister, said undergraduates were capable of determining truth from fiction on what they read on the Internet.
“I talked to youths in my constituency and ask them what they thought of some of the reports and allegations they read on the Net about the local political scene, and they tell me that they are not easily convinced.
“That is why I am certain that youths, particularly those in urban areas, will continue to support the Barisan despite them having access to all these material,” he said.
