SHAH ALAM, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- Youths are encouraged to join the Ahli Dewan Negeri (ADN) Muda 2025, or Young Assemblyman programme, to gain insight into the law and policy-making process in Selangor.

Selangor State Assembly Speaker Lau Weng San said applications for ADN Muda are open from today until April 20, with the programme scheduled for June and July.

“This year’s ADN Muda programme will feature a new format. The first round will involve 112 participants selected based on applications received.

“They will take part in the first round on June 14 at Wisma Dewan Negeri Selangor. The 56 who qualify will advance to the two-day, one-night programme on July 28 and 29,” he told a press conference at the Annexx Building, Selangor State Assembly, today.

Lau said the programme is open to youth aged 18 to 35, regardless of background, with priority given to Selangor voters.

He said participants would have the opportunity to propose and debate motions on youth-related issues, including economic empowerment, education, and the cost of living.
