‘Youth input crucial to help BN lead nation’
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian youth have been urged to provide ideas, give creative input and share their aspirations with Umno and Barisan Nasional.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, made the call yesterday at a gathering with youth activists and National Undergraduates Leadership members.
“By doing so, Umno and BN will remain relevant and people can rely on them.
“Your input is crucial to help BN lead the nation effectively,” she told a crowd of 300 people at Seri Perdana here.
Rosmah said youth must be ready to take on bigger responsibilities once the time came for them to take over the country’s leadership.
“You should have ideas on how to make Malaysia more progressive and prosperous in the future.”
She said youth should be experts in various fields so that they could steer Malaysia to greater heights.
On what the BN-led government had done and pledged for the youth, Rosmah listed some of them, including providing additional 50,000 jobs related to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) via TVET boot camps.
She said BN had never sidelined youth’s needs and this was demonstrated through the slew of initiatives and programmes for young Malaysians.
“BN is committed to upholding youth’s wellbeing. Its commitment is not seasonal.”
