PETALING JAYA – The revamped Rakan Muda initiative, which was launched last June, has received an encouraging response, with more than 80,000 youths aged 15 to 30 participating as of today, said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh.

She called on all youth to participate in the Rakan Muda programme by registering through the Youth and Sports Ministry portal, or emailing [email protected].

“Previously, the Rakan Muda programme was only available in schools, but we are now making it open to those aged 15 to 30. Participation is optional; each district and state has its own sets of programmes and activities.

“Today I’m here for the launch of the Selangor-level Rakan Muda...with its centre at Kompleks Rakan Muda Petaling Jaya,” she said at the Selangor-level Rakan Muda Mini Tour programme here today.

The Rakan Muda programme was relaunched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia on June 25. – Bernama, August 19, 2023
