AMPANG, March 7 — The youths in Selangor are urged to participate in volunteering activities to empower the community and self-development.
Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said doing volunteer works can shape compassionate and responsible citizens that are willing to lend a helping hand to one another.
“Volunteer programmes would also help efforts by the government in curbing the spread of the Covid-19 infection, which has been proven to be successful in other countries.
“For example in Thailand, volunteers are given specific tasks by the government which has helped the country to effectively manage the outbreak,” said Amirudin in his speech during the launch of the Lembah Maju Volunteers in Ampang Avenue, here yesterday.
Amirudin added that the Lambah Maju volunteering initiative should be emulated by the state representatives in Selangor.
