Y.1*, Syed, M. D.2 and Sani, M. A.3 1Department of Anthropology and Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Universiti Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2Department of Media Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Universiti Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 3School of International Studies, COLGIS, Universiti Utara Malaysia, 06010 Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia ABSTRACT Wakaidesu (若いです) or Young Japanese have been seen as being indifferent to politics and do not seem to regard political parties as representing their concerns. This is a blow to the Japanese democracy as the great majority of youth are politically apathetic and they are distancing themselves from active participation in politics. This paper describes the growing political apathy among young Japanese citizens aged between 20 and 35 that needs to be changed. Policies of the state should advocate for issues of interest to younger voters. The engagement of Japanese youth is reflected in three major issues: the feminist movement, community service and environmental protection, all of which will be discussed in this paper. The country urgently needs more young Japanese to be engaged in issues concerning the relationship between the economic and political state of the nation. The paper argued that the political involvement of young Japanese is not being attended to seriously. Instead, political parties are busy securing votes from the largest group of voters, ignoring the young. This has led to the increase of political apathy among young voters, bringing the Japanese democracy into decline. Finally, the paper will also discuss a cultural ethnographic study on the use of the media among Malaysian youth as a comparative analysis to show how self-identity and social identity can be built.

    INTER-PARLIAMENTARY UNION 124th Assembly and related meetings Panama City (Panama), 15 - 20 April 2011 Governing Council CL/188/13(b)-R.3 Item 13(b) Panama City, 15 April 2011 COMMITTEE ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF PARLIAMENTARIANS f CASE No. MAL/15 - ANWAR IBRAHIM - MALAYSIA THE TRIAL OF ANWAR IBRAHIM Report on the trial of Datuk Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim in the High Court of Malaysia observed on behalf of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) MARK TROWELL QC March 2011 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Datuk Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (“Anwar Ibrahim”) was in the 1990s the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. In 1998 Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad dismissed him after he was charged with allegedly sodomizing his wife’s driver and acting corruptly by attempting to interfere with the police investigation. He was convicted and imprisoned after trial, but released when Malaysia’s Federal Court overturned the conviction in September 2004. The Federal Court’s decision was for Anwar Ibrahim the culmination of a six-year struggle for justice after pleading his innocence through the various tiers of the Malaysian court system. During his lengthy period of incarceration, Anwar Ibrahim became the symbol of political opposition to the Mahathir regime. Amnesty International declared him to be a prisoner of conscience, stating that he had been arrested in order to silence him as a political opponent. On 26 August 2008, Anwar Ibrahim won the by-election for the parliamentary seat of Permatang Pauh with a majority of more than 15,000 votes, returning to Parliament as leader of the three-party opposition alliance known as Pakatan Rakyat (PKR).

As the saying goes, “Where there’s life, there’s death.” In this day and age, death Ais no longer a taboo topic. Morbid as it may seem, these days, people make plans for their eventual death to ease the responsibility for their loved ones after they are gone. But how many of us plan for the smooth distribution of wealth to our beneficiaries upon our demise? To date, unclaimed monies and frozen assets in Malaysia amount to over RM60 billion. Procrastination is one of the main reasons why most of us still do not have a will drawn up. Ipoh Echo spoke to Peter Lee, an estate planner of Rockwills in Ipoh, about will and estate planning.
