KBS To Hold 10 Rakan Muda Turun Kampus Programmes Nationwide In 2025

GEORGE TOWN, July 15 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) will implement 10 Rakan Muda Turun Kampus programmes this year, involving an estimated 5,000 students from across the country.

In a statement, KBS said the programme is designed to provide students in institutions of higher learning a platform to share their aspirations, ideas, and feedback on youth and sports development directly with the ministry’s leadership.

"This initiative reflects the core values of Confidence and Compassion (Keyakinan dan Ihsan) under the Malaysia MADANI concept, which prioritises listening to young voices, understanding their needs, and encouraging their participation in national development.

"Through this programme, KBS aims to strengthen student identity and unity, foster collaboration between institutions, and gather insights to enhance youth empowerment strategies," the statement said.

Interactive activities will also be held during the programme, led by the Rakan Muda Development Division under the National Youth and Sports Department (JBSN).

The programme also aims to disseminate the latest updates on government policies and initiatives, particularly those related to youth and sports.

In addition, it provides a platform for youth to express their views on key issues while promoting civic engagement and expanding the Gaya Hidup Rakan Demokrasi initiative within campuses.

Earlier, KBS Minister Hannah Yeoh attended the fifth edition of the Rakan Muda Turun Kampus 2025 series at Han Chiang University College of Communication (HCUC), accompanied by Penang Youth, Sports and Health Committee chairman Daniel Gooi Zi Sen.
