KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Youth and Sports has opened applications for the National Youth Consultative Council (MPBN) for its 35th term (2025-2026).
Deputy Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim stated the move aims to make the council more inclusive.
The initiative seeks to amplify youth voices from diverse backgrounds, including para-athletes and those from Sabah and Sarawak.
Adam Adli emphasised the ministry’s commitment to fair and balanced representation.
He addressed this during the Dewan Rakyat Q&A session, responding to Yeo Bee Yin (PH-Puchong) on strengthening MPBN as a youth platform.
The council’s conference, reintroduced last year, will now be held biannually with live social media broadcasts. – Bernama
