President post in SABERKAS Sarawak is a trust given by our leaders

I sincerely thank our past President, Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister of Sarawak who has passed the baton to me as the new President of Sarawak United National Youths Association (SABERKAS) as of 19 September 2020.

It is a great honour for me to lead SABERKAS which has over 44,500 members throughout Sarawak and I viewed the appointment as a trust as well as heavy responsibility that must be shouldered because the establishment of our association involves our local youths who need guidance from leaders in order for them to become future generation of leaders.

I also congratulate YB Datuk Dr Haji Abdul Rahman Junaidi for filling the Deputy President post and to all of our four vice presidents namely YB Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali, YB Martin Ben, YB Dennis Ngau and Aziz Datuk Abang Drauf.

I am also aspire to empower local youths in digital economic activities while encouraging their involvement in several areas that will further strengthen the required skills and competencies. As a youth organization that has nothing to do with politics, we will strive to guide and bring young people in Sarawak to be more dynamic and to shape a brighter future where they can participate in the development of the state and the local community.

SABERKAS' membership is also open to youths regardless of race and religion because it was set up to encourage their involvement in the fields of economy, arts, culture, sports and other intiatives that will benefit them in the long run.

We must remember that our youths are the most active members of the community and their number is almost half of the total population in Sarawak and also in Malaysia. Thus, the youths can shoulder the responsibility in contributing to the process of nation building and development which covers all aspects both in terms of politics, economy, social, culture or education.

With our youths forming the backbone of our community and country, we at SABERKAS will work hard and focus on improving the future of the local youths that will benefit the community that nurture them while facing future challenges. to be more resilient and be well prepared in order to progress.
