KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian youth generally have a positive sentiment towards Asean, despite showing only moderate knowledge and awareness of the regional body’s functions and initiatives, a recent study revealed.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from several local universities, found that Malaysian university students recognise Asean’s role in promoting unity, peace, economic growth and youth empowerment, but highlighted the need for Asean to become more visible and accessible to the younger generation.
