Sarawak State Government urged to exploit new media to get youths’ participation

KUCHING: State government must keep up its participation in the new media to better engage the young people in its programmes and activities as well as to clear any misconception. Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said the approach towards achieving the state’s politics of development mission was to include the people instead of having them as mere recipients.

“We need to keep up our participation with the new media. We need to seek the best ways on how to approach and interact with the younger generation who are in schools and universities for they are the ones who will play the major role in our politics of development and successful transformation,” he said when officiating at Angkatan Zaman Mansang’s (Azam) annual dinner here Saturday night.
