Dare to Dream - Magang speaks to the youth

It is a great honour to be patron of the 2015 Youth Leadership Training Programme.  It is also a great delight to be among such a promising gathering of the leaders of tomorrow. Certainly, when I’m in the midst of young people bristling with vim and vitality as you do, I too feel much younger than my 70-plus years!  

“Youth are the future”. We have heard such a statement so often that it now borders on the hackneyed.  It stops just short of being a cliché. Yet it rings very true. You the youth are not only the future: you are the present. You offer energy and vibrancy. Youth flowers intensely, but briefly, and while it can be a period of confusion, it is also a time of great opportunity.
