Youth age cap at 30 not for Sabah
Published on: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 29, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: 'Age isn't the issue. It's your maturity and personality that count,' said Fairuz. Kota Kinabalu: The national youth age cap at 30 won't work in the State, said Sabah Assistant Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Fairuz Renddan (pic). 'The policy never really fit in the first place because we're already used to the age cap at 40. 'Maybe it makes sense in KL, but not here,' he said, adding that Sarawak holds the same stance. 'This idea has been around since Khairy Jamaluddin, Syed Saddiq, Reezal Merican, and now Hannah Yeoh but Sabah and Sarawak don't see the need,' he said. The federal law, passed by Parliament in 2019, has already been postponed twice and is now in its third extension. Fairuz believes enforcing it in Sabah could be counterproductive. 'We're not like the older generation where people at 35 were already stable and matured. 'Today, even in their 30s or 40s, people are still finding their sense of direction. Youth clubs hardly see new members in their early 20s. Most are in their late 20s or above,' he added. He also dismissed claims that Sabah would be left behind if it doesn't follow the federal move as opined by Federal Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh. 'We already have the Sabah Youth Development Enactment being developed with the Sabah Youth Council (MBS) tackling the transition issues,' he said. The enactment notes that only 15pc of Sabah youth are in formal groups, with policies shaped to suit the State's diverse social and cultural context. 'Age isn't the issue. It's your maturity and personality that count,' said Fairuz. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Tuaran: The Sabah Federal Secretary's Office (SUP) has donated RM10,000 to Rumah Anak Yatim Al Aman as part of its continuous outreach to support welfare institutions in the State. State Federal Secretary Datuk Seri Rosli Isa said the contribution aims to strengthen ties with charitable organisations while assisting the underprivileged. 'This time, we have donated RM10,000 to a charity body, Rumah Anak Yatim Al Aman, represented by its Chairman Saupin Samintah. 'It is one of the ways we build relationships with welfare bodies, especially orphanages, in order to help those in need,' he told reporters after officiating the 2025 Sabah Federal Departments Biannual Golf Tournament here on Sunday. Commenting on the tournament, Rosli said it served as a platform to foster camaraderie among Federal civil servants in Sabah, while encouraging a healthy lifestyle. 'This is a great avenue to strengthen the bond among civil servants from Federal departments in Sabah. 'When we get to know each other better, it becomes easier for us to cooperate and carry out our duties effectively. 'We are also encouraging government personnel to take part in sports as part of a healthy lifestyle because a healthy body leads to an active mind, enabling us to perform better at work,' he said. The tournament saw participation from more than 30 Federal departments and agencies in Sabah. The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) team, led by State Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun, emerged as the team category winner. Mohamad Faizal Tahir of the Sabah National Registration Department won the individual category. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
