KOTA KINABALU (Aug 16): The International Youth Leadership Training programme is a vital platform to mould Muslim youth into future leaders and agents of change, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor. 'The world needs your ideas, your energy and your vision. The challenges we face today require fresh perspectives and bold actions,' he said in a speech delivered by Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Shahelmey Yahya at the opening ceremony of the programme at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) on Saturday. Hajiji said it is essential to nurture the leadership potential of young people and encourage them to take an active role in community and nation-building. 'We want to see our youth continue to rise to leadership challenges. Fostering their involvement in leadership training and community initiatives is crucial in preparing them to face the complexities of the modern world,' he said. Organised by the Regional Islamic Da'wah Council of Southeast Asia and the Pacific (RISEAP) in collaboration with the United Sabah Islamic Association (Usia), the event gathered youth leaders from 12 Southeast Asia and Pacific countries. It is also supported by various state and federal government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Hajiji expressed hope that the training would provide opportunities for participants to enhance their leadership skills, build meaningful connections and learn from each other's experiences. 'Leadership is not merely about holding positions. It is about influence, responsibility and serving others. Step out of your comfort zones, embrace new ideas and engage with your peers. Make this journey one of growth and inspiration,' he said. The event was officiated by Head of State Tun Musa Aman, who launched the programme. Also present were Premier of Sarawak and RISEAP president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Ariffin Arif.
