KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 — The Sahabat Madani Selangor initiative aims to strengthen youth participation in volunteerism and community service to support local communities.

Senior Political Advisor to the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the initiative was a continuation of the Sahabat Madani programme launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Penang last August.

He said the platform was intended to encourage more young people to contribute their time and energy to community-based programmes throughout Selangor.

“Activities include gotong-royong programmes organised in collaboration with local authorities, such as the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ), as well as other initiatives to assist the public.
