KUCHING: Programmes tailored for youth development are meant to guide the young generation to be useful citizens.
Assistant Youth Development Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said these programmes had nothing to do with politics, but purely to help youths realise their potential to the fullest.
He said the state government had to be responsible in making sure that the young generation would turn out well so that they could lead Sarawak, its public and private sectors, as well as other organisations effectively.
“The present government will fail in its duties if many of our youths end up behind bars or in correctional centres.
“So when we organise programmes for youths, it’s about fulfilling our responsibility — it has nothing to do with politics.
“We want to guide our youths because we want them to be successful in the future, and eventually take over the leadership from us,” he said when closing the “Youth Leadership Boot Camp: Innovating4Tomorrow” here yesterday.
Angkatan Zaman Mansang (Azam) held the event in collaboration with the Workforce Development Unit of the Chief Minister’s Office.
