ALOR SETAR: Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari has called on young people to remain physically and mentally active, saying this is essential for developing strong principles and becoming capable individuals.
“We want to prepare our youth not merely to go about their daily lives, but more importantly, to be young people who can and will shoulder greater responsibilities in the future.
“Leaders come and go, but youth – young people – should not stop here; their development is continuous, filled with programmes that build their personal character and identity,” he said after flagging off a run in conjunction with Kedah State Youth Aspiration Day 2025 on Friday night, Bernama reported.
He added that the programme, organised by the Kedah State 4B Youth Movement, serves as a platform for young people to express their aspirations and inspirations.
“Programmes like this need continuity, as these associations act as a bridge between the government and grassroots youth. We do not want to merely implement policies and laws that are not felt by the youth themselves,” he said.
