He’s currently holding the Youth and Sports Ministry portfolio and he’s currently fighting is to ensure that the voting age limit will be lowered to 18.

Although his journey in politics may be akin to a foetus age, he has already been recognised as one of the most influential young politicians in the world.

Apolitical is a global platform that helps connect policy makers and public servants. The organization has recently revealed its 2018 list of ‘100 Future Leaders: The World’s Most Influential Young People in Government.’

The list recognises “people in the field of government and policy who have made a mark early in their careers” and are aged 35 years and below.

And on that list is the sole Malaysian – Syed Saddiq.

He not only made the list but he's also listed in the Top 20!

According to Apolitical, these young leaders are “the ones to watch, who will continue to transform governments far and wide for years to come.”
