KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 (Bernama) -- Youth in the country must play a role as agents of change capable of bringing positive values to society, to ensure holistic and sustainable national development.
Bandar Tun Razak Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said that to achieve this goal, young people must build a strong sense of identity and develop critical thinking skills to prepare themselves for future challenges.
“Youth must continuously strive to enhance their capabilities in various fields,” she said when speaking at the Federal Territories Youth 2026 get-together, attended by 160 youth leaders and activists from Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan today.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is also the wife of the Prime Minister, urged the group to make full use of existing development platforms to build strategic cooperation that directly benefits the community.
“Use these opportunities to build networks, exchange views and plan strategic collaborations that can benefit the community. Active participation in organisations and development programmes not only enhances leadership skills but also shapes a well-balanced and competitive personality,” she said.
At the event, Dr Wan Azizah also officiated the ‘Penggerak Belia Wilayah Persekutuan’ programme in conjunction with the Federal Territories-level Youth Day celebration.
