‘We place so much hope in you’: Anwar urges NS trainees to shape Malaysia’s future

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim addressed National Service Training Programme 3.0 trainees during a meet-up, urging them to shape Malaysia’s future. As the session concluded, Anwar expressed his deep hope for the young individuals, stating, "We place so much hope – you cannot imagine – as an old man myself, struggle to make this country succeed and excel."

He emphasized that the nation's confidence lies in the trainees, believing they will ensure the country's future remains in capable hands. Anwar received a warm welcome upon his arrival, and four trainees were given the chance to ask questions. The National Service Training Programme, now in a dynamic, progressive, and relevant phase, aims to instill discipline, promote nation-building, strengthen values, integrity, and character, foster unity across diverse backgrounds, and enhance civic awareness and preparedness for modern challenges.

The programme's success is measured not only by the number of trainees completing training but also by the creation of a patriotic, united, and ready-to-serve younger generation.
