To be continueeeeeeeeee........

DAY 3

It was the most fun day where we were divided into groups for CSR projects. Youths will be given opportunity to present their thoughts and proposals to the corporate sector for fund and other resources. During CSR Do lah!, delegates will also be able to pilot test their thoughts and proposals in an activity-based program under the guidance of selected corporations and NGOs. Some were went for community project and etc while myself was in the group for *Voice Your Choice"..It's about we need to create a campaign to create awareness to the Malaysian's citizens to register as voter. We need to get the citizens who is 21years old above to register themselves as voter for the next election in our country. It was a really hard as most of the citizens was not aware with our politics issue in the country esp the youths. Most of them will have a negative thought where they don't believe they can make a change to the country. Why should they go and vote? Some of the teenagers don't even understand the purpose of register themselves as the voter. It shows that we really need to do more campaign in the purpose of create more awareness among them. I believe that, as the Malaysian citizen, why not just give a contribute by just a vote. It can make a difference by just a vote. I am glad that i'm given the chance to have such exposure and hope I could pass the message to others as well although I don't think I am a very convincing person. My group able to get 12 citizens to registered as voter. It was good compared to other groups. We went the whole Bukit Bintang area...it was really challenging as we were not allowed to gather infront those shopping malls and those security will come and chased us away. LOL! somehow, we didn't give up and continue with our mission. AT LEAST WE DID IT! :)

Here is my group during the CSR project at Bukit Bintang.

I miss them heaps (:

Oh yeah, with the power of the media was truly awesomee :) We managed to publish our campaign thru Facebook, Twitter and some radio FM so that the citizens can reach us at Bukit Bintang for the registration. The campaign ended at 6pm and we went back to UM for our dinner and stories sharing session.

Had some chilling session at Piccadilly at PJ with other delegates at night and went for playground session in a group. We shared our own stories with each other. It was totally great. Till now, I still miss the session with them. Although we were only know each other during the 3 days of conference, but we were like in a family and we had fun and learnt from each other. We had the session till almost 4am and we will be having lunch with our PM the very next day at One World Hotel. Now our group has own group name:- Everyday we shuffling. HAHA! AWESOME MUCH!

Have you ever came across that we as the youth today can make the changes in our country? As one of the Malaysian citizen, have we ever thought of contributing for the country besides blaming and complaining to the certain parties and also the government? I gotta admit that I am used to be one of them but somehow, I've came across with good exposure on this kind of issues and now I believe that , we can make the changes. Believe you can do it. Even if you failed, at least you give a try. Don't ever give yourself a barrier on doing something you want to do. Impossible is nothing.

During my last sem break, I attended this event. Youth Nation Summit 2011 is an event that organized under the Power of Y, an initiative that incorporates the best of youth leadership, practical industry knowledge and experience through a series of events and programs.

Youth Nation Summit 2011 aims to empower the youth leaders with the necessary knowledge, skills and resources that will enable them to execute their own community-development initiative and make a positive impact in the community they live in!

This event was held from 28th-31st of May at University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. About 350 delegates that participate in the summit. Most of us stayed the hostel.

DAY 2

We had two session which were the Youth2business and Youth2Government. During the youth2business, it was a forum that for corporate organizations to engage with youth and listen to youth's idea, concerns, feedbacks and opinions as well. By having this forum, it enable the organizations to capture outputs from youth in Malaysia to better target the Generation Y.

Youth 2 Government forum

In this session, it enables the government to engage with Malaysia youth to capture their output, and assist in making policy related to youth. Government would be able to compile youth's ideas and be the enablers to support youth activities in nation building.
