SINGAPORE - The People's Action Party on Sunday launched a youth arm of its Malay Affairs Bureau to allow younger community members to engage and collaborate with policymakers."Malay/Muslim youth want to meaningfully contribute to our community and Singapore's future. Many show interest in social causes and activism, including within the political space," said Ms Nadia, an MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC.
The bureau reviewed its structure in 2018 to empower activists who wished to be more involved, and established MAB Muda last year to better engage the community and ensure youth's concerns are represented and aired. Separately, the study also found that Malay/Muslim youth felt the need for more active citizenry, with about 25 per cent of them indicating a desire for more youth presentation.
The two MPs met representatives from key Malay/Muslim youth organisations, people representing different industries, and PAP activists.
