PM Najib: Youngsters to gain most from transformation agenda


Young people are the most important asset of the country, says the prime minister.
PEKAN: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak said today the country’s transformation agenda would bring most benefits to young people, and they should support the agenda for a more glorious future for themselves.
He said young people were the most important asset of the country in its march towards greater prosperity and well-being.
“Young people should support the national transformation agenda because the agenda will bring benefits in the short and long term.
“When Malaysia becomes a developed nation, the beneficiaries will be the young people of today. In fact, we do not have to wait until 2020 for the young people to gain from the transformation agenda,” he said when opening the Pekan Vision Children’s Club (Kawan) at the IM4U Fair 2013 at Dataran Pekan, here.
Najib’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, and Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob were also present.
Najib said it was important that the young people be given guidance so that they understood the transformation undertaken by the government.
“If the young people of today can be nurtured, they can contribute to a more glorious future,” he said.
Najib said the government was of the opinion that youngsters were the nation’s asset, and it had to formulate policies and implement programmes for them and for national development.
The prime minister said the government had never marginalised young people as it had provided them with various educational and training programmes and employment opportunities.
On another matter, Najib said he was confident that young people would always respect the country’s security forces who sacrificed their lives to defend the nation’s sovereignty.
The prime minister also said that the “Jelajah Patriotik” (Patriotic Tour) had begun in Lahad Datu and would move on to Sarawak and then to the peninsula.
This showed that the security forces had the support of the people, even the young, he added.
“I was given an army-style cap, my wife is wearing army-style boots today,” he said.
Najib said he would attend a programme on Monday with the police force and would explain the Sulu terrorist intrusion in Lahad Datu.
