PUTRAJAYA – The ideals that Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) had been championing must evolve from mere vocal expressions and demands to actionable initiatives now that the youth wing is an integral part of the current administration, said its chief Adam Adli Abd Halim.
He said AMK members need to realise that the situation has changed and that they must adapt to new realities collectively.
“With the role and responsibilities entrusted to us now, regardless of whether we are in office or not, we must transition from being mere proposers to implementers.
“As members of AMK, we must be ready to shoulder heavy and challenging responsibilities. Having worked hard to achieve victory, it is now time for us to contribute to sustaining that victory,” he said in his keynote address at the AMK Congress 2023 at Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) today.
As a key supporter of the government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the PKR president, Adam Adli said it is the duty of the youth wing to serve as the eyes and ears that connect with the voices of youths in the country.
He urged AMK members to take the opportunity that they have as council members, elected representatives, and government officials at various levels to channel the voices of youths into effective policies.
“We are being observed by the people out there. Our position as the youth wing that is part of the ruling administration does not mean that we have the final say to what we want,’” he said.
Adam Adli, who is also Youth and Sports Deputy Minister reminded the delegates to be agents that disseminate the party’s idealistic values among party members.
As such, he said AMK would organise training and leadership development programmes, including the Justice Debate Club, Training of Trainers and Youth Wing School that involve the wing’s leadership at all levels.
These initiatives will be consolidated under a new entity known as Akademi Keadilan Rakyat – AKAR launched at the congress to prepare future leaders of AMK with clear ideals aligned with the party’s principles of justice for all.
Meanwhile, Adam Adli said he was confident that Malaysians stood firmly behind Anwar’s leadership in advocating for the Palestinian cause, adding that the prime minister’s determination in the matter is unwavering, despite attempts by a misguided few to silence it. – BERNAMA
