On July 1st, 2023, our students had the privilege of being invited to participate in the Jelajah Belia Sarawak @ Sabah programme. This programme, which marked its 26th series, was organized by the Sabah Youth Council (MBS) and took place at the prestigious Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC).
The ceremony was graced by the presence of YB Dato Sri Hj Abd Karim Rahman Hamzah, the Minister of Tourism, Creative Industries and Performing Arts Sarawak, as well as the Minister of Youth, Sports, and Entrepreneur Development Sarawak. The programme featured a diverse range of captivating activities that kept the participants engaged and entertained. One of the highlights was the opening of interactive and diverse exhibition and sales stalls, which provided a platform for showcasing various products and services.
To conclude the event on an exciting note, a lucky draw was conducted, offering attractive prizes such as smartphones and kitchen electronics. This added an element of anticipation and reward for the attendees, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Beyond the immediate festivities, this programme holds great significance in fostering unity and harmony between the regions of Sabah and Sarawak. By bringing together youths from both areas, it serves as a platform for strengthening bonds and fostering mutual understanding. Furthermore, the programme provides a valuable opportunity for the youth to directly voice their wishes and aspirations to the ministry, ensuring their concerns and ideas are heard and taken into consideration.
Overall, the Jelajah Belia Sarawak @ Sabah programme not only celebrates the vibrant youth community but also serves as a catalyst for collaboration, empowerment, and development. Through its engaging activities and open dialogue, it paves the way for a brighter future, driven by the voices and aspirations of the young generation.
