Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the tabling of Budget 2024 in Parliament today announced a new initiative for youths to encourage volunteer work.
Using the concept of “pay it forward”, the government has agreed to give a reward of RM500 to youths aged 18 to 20 if they do volunteer work with a body recognised by the government.
Besides that, the Rakan Muda programme will also be given an RM20 million allocation for youth-related programmes.
So, what do you guys think of this initiative? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
