Empower youths and secure their future, says Razali Ismail

KUALA LUMPUR: Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) Foundation chairman Tan Sri Razali Ismail has highlighted the importance of accountability, youth empowerment and the 'Moderation Factor' in securing the future of the youths. "If you leave the youths in a state of helplessness, they will be easily manipulated by outside influences," he warned at the second World Muslim Leadership Forum in London last Wednesday. Meeting after a year of widespread social and political upheaval in which Muslim youths were prominently featured, the conference discussed issues pressing the global Muslim community and the challenges faced by its future leaders, the GMM said in a statement.

The conference brought together established business leaders, politicians and Muslim youth activists, who discussed an array of topics, including the role of Muslim leaders in the United Kingdom and the empowerment of youth.
