Garry Kasparov speaks out to youths

Choice words from Garry Kasparov at the Youth Engagement Summit 2009 held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre on 17 Nov 2009, as reported from the plenary hall via Twitter by The Star's R.AGE team.

I just want to add that these quotes come from Kasparov's own chess and political experience. But yesterday, his audience of about 1,000 youths and an unknown number of "non-youths" heard him in a completely different perspective.
