Negeri Sembilan’s Bangsa Malaysia programme for Form Six students focuses on leadership, patriotism and social responsibility, mobilising over 1,000 volunteers
SEREMBAN: Negeri Sembilan has successfully mobilised more than 1,000 volunteers for its pioneering Bangsa Malaysia Character Building Programme for Form Six Students since its 2023 launch.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said the programme is grounded in leadership, social responsibility and patriotism, aligned with the six pillars of MADANI.
He said the initiative plays a vital role in producing quality, competitive and principled students while supporting efforts to nurture a future generation of leaders.
“Young people need to interact more widely and build friendships beyond their usual circles, while strengthening the values of mutual respect,“ he said at a town hall session involving 240 participants.
Aminuddin urged youth to think rationally and exercise consideration when facing issues, acting within the framework of the country’s constitution rather than on emotion.
He said the programme, organised by the state Education Department with the Negeri Sembilan Foundation and Pertubuhan Penggerak Madani Negeri Sembilan, serves as a benchmark for the National Character Building programme.
The Menteri Besar emphasised that the spirit of togetherness represents the country’s true strength.
“I want to see the students before me become leaders, whether in service to the nation, state, organisation or family,“ he added.
Aminuddin advised them to be good leaders who avoid corruption, study hard, pursue knowledge diligently and use sound judgment to make wise decisions.
Meanwhile, 42 volunteers comprising Form Six students and youth group members will participate in the Global MADANI Outreach 2025 in Pekanbaru, Indonesia from December 20 to 23.
He said the programme aims to foster idea exchange with Indonesian students and create a meaningful impact through brotherhood and dialogue. – Bernama
