KUALA PENYU: The Beaufort UMNO Youth Movement, in their recent representative meeting at the Ambuyat Syahbandar Makang Hall here, has approved a proposal to establish an Education and Entrepreneurship Fund for the Beaufort Parliamentary area.
Their leader, Ak. Mohd Yazri Ak. Mohd Yahya, said the purpose of setting up the fund is to enhance the quality and educational achievements of students in the Beaufort Parliamentary area, while the establishment of the entrepreneurship fund aims to assist youth in the field of entrepreneurship.
“The Education Fund is created to help students in need, for example, those facing disasters or tragedies at once or those who want to continue their studies but have trouble paying the initial fees,” he said after the representative meeting.
Meanwhile, according to Ak. Mohd Yazri, the entrepreneurship fund is targeted to help youth who want to venture into entrepreneurship, whether in business, agriculture, and so on.
“A special committee will be formed to plan and implement these two funds, especially to secure funding to fill both of these funds,” he said.
He added that these funds not only help in terms of financial resources but also emphasise other approaches, such as in education by organising additional classes, motivational lectures, awards, and so on.
“In the field of entrepreneurship, we (UMNO Youth) will collaborate with relevant government departments or agencies to conduct skills courses and expose opportunities and funding provided by the government for youth to enter the field of entrepreneurship,” he said.
Another proposal approved during the meeting was for the forgiveness and justice of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
