Promise 55: To increase the space for and diversify the

activities of young people

Young people of Malaysia are increasingly active in recreational and

non-social activities. This is a positive development as it contributes directly

to the creation of inclusive, moderate and positive cultures in our society.

Hence, the Pakatan Harapan Government will support community activities,

sports and welfare for young people. We will guarantee freedom for youth

activism, as well as promote the growth of youth-led social, welfare and

intellectual activities.

State and district libraries as well as community halls will be opened for the

wider use of youth. Public spaces such as recreational parks and public

sports facilities will be increased. The cooperation of local authorities and

state governments will be further strengthened to build and maintain these

facilities.

The process for young people to rent stadiums and state-owned sports

facilities will be simplified and the costs will be nominal. The Pakatan

Harapan Government will encourage the growth of entrepreneurship among

young people.

Ministries and relevant agencies will focus on the providing assistance to

ensure that young entrepreneurs can succeed in the business of their

choice.
