JOHOR BAHRU, May 23 (Bernama) -- Employment opportunities and home ownership for youths were among key issues raised by delegates at PKR’s Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) National Congress 2025 here today.
Kota Melaka division AMK chief Alex Lee Yen Wei, when debating AMK Chief Adam Adli Abdul Halim’s policy speech, stressed the importance of Malaysia strengthening its economic diplomacy to attract more investments in the technology and innovation sectors, thereby creating high-value employment opportunities for locals.
He also emphasised the need for youth participation in negotiations, including at the international level, and called for the appointment of young, principled and outspoken diplomats to ensure that fresh perspectives are represented in policymaking processes.
“We may not be able to compete in terms of power, but with the right strategy, we can become a respected economic force,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hulu Langat division AMK Chief Muhammad Azimuddin Mohamed urged the government to adopt more creative approaches in assisting young people to own homes.
“One option could be expanding the ‘Smart Sewa’ initiative implemented by the Selangor government. Under this programme, eligible individuals are allowed to rent designated homes for five years.
The AMK National Congress, themed ‘Membangun MADANI, Menuju Reformasi’, is taking place at Berjaya Waterfront Hotel here.
