JOHOR BARU: The revamped Rakan Muda initiative is expected to register one million participants by the end of the year, said Adam Adli Abd Halim.
The Deputy Youth and Sports Minister said this was based on the encouraging response towards weekly Rakan Muda programmes at the district level ever since the initiative was relaunched in June by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.Adam Adli said the close cooperation between NGOs and youth associations have also played an important role in attracting more participants.
“We have 10 programmes under Rakan Muda that focus on helping our youth groups through volunteering, creating new innovations and circuit sports,” he said. “I believe that some of the huge contributors in terms of participation are through the Fit Malaysia programme and new Sekolah Rukun Negara initiative.”
However, she emphasised that the government is more focused on skills’ development instead of giving cash handouts even though the latter is still necessary. She cited the Kelantan Rakan Muda programme and its car-polishing workshops which have enabled young people in the state to earn a sustainable income by providing door-to-door services.
