DEWAN BELIA MALAYSIA Executive Summary

▪ Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara (MPBN) was established in 1971 but it is viewed

as being less prominent compared to a "Youth Parliament".

▪ MPBN is more likely to be seen as a consultative forum between representatives

of persatuan belia registered under ROY and the Government. Voices of youths

not registered under ROY is not highlighted or addressed adequately to the

Government.

▪ The proposed establishment of Dewan Belia Malaysia (transformation of MPBN)

will serve as a forum to hear, transmit, manage and address the issue of the

younger generation through representatives selected. The representative is

attends Dewan Belia to convey the views and ideas of the youth in their

constituency.

▪ The impact towards the establishment of Dewan Belia Malaysia are as follows :

- The voice of a broader range of youths are heard, managed and handled in a

transparent manner

- Issues concerning youths are managed in an integrated approach

- Youths are involved in the nation building process

▪ The cost required : RM1,228,800 per year

Case for action

Context(What is the current situation today? What

data can we get to show the current

situation?)

In 2010, There are 11.5 million

youths (aged 15 – 40) in Malaysia.

71 % of that youth population are in

the age of 18 to 30 years old. Out of

11.4 million Gen Y (9 – 28 years old)

in Malaysia, 82 % do not join youth

organisations affiliated with MBM.

Generally Malaysian youth especially

Gen-Y are shying away from

traditional youth organisations

leading to low participation rates

(only 2.1 million are registered

members of youth organizations)

Complication(What issues have arisen that has made this an

important matter to be addressed? Any roadblocks?

Hurdles? Setback? Challenges?)

Although the existing composition of MPBN

was reorganized in 2008, as a whole MPBN

is still viewed as a forum which is

monopolized by representatives of youth

societies.

Issues regarding non persatuan belia youths

are rarely highlighted nor discussed in

MPBN. (MPBN Sidang 2 2009-2010 Report

shows that out of 13 issues raised and

discussed, only 4 issues related to non

persatuan belia youth)

Description of recommendation

Description(Why is this recommendation necessary? What are the benefits? ? How would you describe

the idea? How does the idea work? What is the concept/approach?)

o This initiative aims to identify and nurture national leaders of the future by

providing a platform for high potential youth leaders to interact with fellow

youth leaders in a parliamentary-like environment

oKBS will choose the most appropriate method (from 4 methods proposed

earlier) to obtain the 222 delegates. The importance of these 222 is that it will

cover the representation of the whole youth population in Malaysia

oYouth delegates will debate on issues identified, and then proceed to discuss

and formulate action plans and parties responsible to take action for the

issues affecting youth. To identify the party responsible is important in order to

solve the issues, not just having ideas and plans without coming to the

solution at the end of the day
