1. What is your view on the future of mental health institutions in Malaysia, such as LKM? Do you think it is still relevant to pursue human-based courses like Counseling and Psychology in the next five years?

2. In your opinion, what are the best actions that Counseling and Psychology students can take to contribute to Malaysia’s Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being?

As a citizen of this nation. Im concerned why we only focus on developing KL and Selangor and not the other states in Malaysia. I believe every state and the people in it have their own potential and I believe by the government bringing in more development and foreign investments into other states will improve the economy of the states and also increase their standard of living. I also suggest to implement to bring more public transport in other states such as buses or LRT. It will also help reduce the traffic or overpopulation in KL or Selangor. We can take an example from the Europe, they're so developed and they have trams or buses for every street and corner. I think our fellow Malaysian would like that too.

1. Why are international students who graduate in fields like counselling and medicine from Malaysian institutions not allowed to work in Malaysia, despite being highly qualified? Could the government consider a policy that supports their employment to retain skilled talent?

2. Speaking of higher education policy ,why must Malaysian students complete a diploma, foundation, or matriculation before pursuing a bachelor’s degree, when many countries allow students to enter directly after high school? Doesn’t this delay the time it takes to reach higher qualifications like a master’s degree, especially for women who wish to balance professional careers such as becoming doctors with family roles like motherhood?

1. What is the government’s plan to ensure students in specialised areas like digital forensics are empowered with AI training and real-world exposure to defend the nation in the digital space?

Additionally, would the government consider a national AI ethics framework—especially in the context of handling personal data and digital evidence , so that Malaysia can progress responsibly, without compromising justice or public trust?

We’ve seen how countries like Estonia or Singapore have embraced secure, AI-driven digital ecosystems. I believe Malaysia, too, can be a leader , not just in adopting AI , but in training a new generation to wield it responsibly and intelligently.

2. With the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence, many students—including myself—are both excited and anxious about what the future holds. While AI brings efficiency and innovation, it also presents a real threat to job security, especially for fresh graduates entering industries that are beginning to automate.

In Malaysia, sectors like customer service, data entry, logistics, and even creative fields are seeing increasing levels of automation. While some may see this as progress, others fear being replaced before they even start their careers. As a student preparing to enter the workforce, I can’t help but wonder: Are we being trained for jobs that may no longer exist in 5 to 10 years?

How is the government planning to address the employment risks caused by AI automation—particularly for young graduates—and what policies are in place to ensure we are reskilled or redirected into roles that AI cannot replace?

I believe Malaysia should not only adopt AI but also build a human-centered strategy, where people are continuously upskilled, and AI is used to enhance work not erase it. Perhaps we can even introduce national reskilling programs or AI-awareness modules in all university courses, regardless of field. That way, no student is left behind in this digital transition.

Is the MADANI the 'New Paradigm Shift' of the 'Asian Renaissance'?

How far can MADANI go — beyond your tenure and political branding? Who will continue its vision and uphold its values in the years to come?

MADANI echoes values from Islam Hadhari and inherits the unfulfilled hopes of Wawasan 2020 which spoke of the 'Malay Dilemma' and 'Globalisation and the New Realities', while you offered 'The New Paradigm Shift' and 'Asian Renaissance' as chairman of ASEAN.

As the next generation, we ask: Like the legacy of Junjungan Besar Baginda of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW, will MADANI endure — or become another forgotten national ideal? Or how ‘Gurindam 12’ by Raja Haji Ali implemented in the education system to enhance the resisting generation to come?

Reflecting on the MADANI vision, especially the focus on caring for each other and building a sustainable future and knowing how much we as students want to step up and lead, what concrete plans or new rules can we look forward to in the next few years that will really empower us to take on leadership roles in our universities and make sure everyone feels supported and well? We're thinking about how this can boost our education quality and overall well-being, hitting those important goals like making sure everyone gets a good education and feels healthy and included on campus. What should we expect?

Question 1:

Although mental health services are available in many universities, stigma still prevents students from seeking help. What are the government’s efforts to normalize mental health conversations and make help-seeking behaviour more acceptable among youth, especially in conservative or rural communities?

Question 2:

While some rehabilitation and counselling programs exist in prisons, many young people only receive help after being punished. Will the government consider investing more in early intervention and community-based recovery programs to support youth struggling with addiction before they enter the criminal justice system?

Concerns

From the total number given, youth (19 to 39 years) was the population group that mostly abused drugs (59.6%), followed by adults (40 years and above) (39.9%), and teenagers (13 to 18 years) (0.4%).- Mohd Nawawi, N. A. A., Othman, E. A., Mohd Nasir, F., Abdullah, K. A., & Baharudin, M. N. (2024). Drug addictions in Malaysia: a mini-review on drug types, rehabilitation centers and therapeutic programs. Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse, 1–13. https://doi.org/10.1080/15332640.2024.2336495

Questions

1. With the sharp rise in drug addiction among Malaysian youth, how does the MADANI government plan to strengthen drug education and prevention, especially in a fast-paced, globalized world where drugs are evolving rapidly and becoming easier to access?

2. How does the government plan to curb the easy availability of drugs in entertainment venues such as clubs, concerts, and private events that often-become distribution hubs?

3. What concrete steps are being taken to stop the influx of illegal drugs into our country, are there new cross-border collaborations or technologies being explored to strengthen border control?

4. For youths who have fallen into addiction, is the government considering the implementation of non-traditional or innovative rehabilitation methods such as digital detox programs, community-based peer recovery, or school-led intervention initiatives to complement existing treatment systems?

5. How can the government educate the public, especially students and families, to not stigmatize or look down on former addicts, but instead learn how to support and include them as part of the community? Can such be included in the national education curriculum alongside drug prevention efforts, so that those undergoing rehabilitation are not pushed back into addiction due to isolation or discrimination?

6. Ketum (kratom) has become increasingly accessible, especially among youth, despite its regulated status. Many are consuming it openly, and it is reportedly easy to obtain, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. What are the government’s current plans under the MADANI framework to address the widespread and casual misuse of ketum, especially when it is being perceived by some as a ‘legal high’? Are there new enforcement, public education, or policy measures being considered to better control the use and distribution of ketum while balancing its traditional and medicinal use?

1. Dato’ Seri, through my personal research, I came across Sheikh Muhammad Abduh’s original vision of Madani, rooted in the essence of Islamic civilisation and built upon eight foundational values—rationality in faith, the precedence of reason in contradictions, tolerance, the use of creation as evidence, non-authoritarianism, protection of da'wah, love for fellow believers, and integration of worldly and spiritual life. I noticed both philosophical alignment and divergence between this classical interpretation and your contemporary Malaysia MADANI vision. Could you clarify how Malaysia MADANI reinterprets or evolves from Muhammad Abduh’s original ideals? Additionally, how does it compare to the earlier concept of Islam Hadhari introduced by Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, which also sought to harmonise modern governance with Islamic values?

2. as a university student, I’ve observed a significant lack of emphasis on critical thinking and intellectual freedom within our higher education system. Instead of being exposed to diverse ideas, creative challenges, and real-world phenomena, many students seem confined to a rigid academic structure that limits our intellectual growth. In contrast, when speaking to peers from neighbouring Indonesia—our serumpun brothers and sisters—I noticed their strong engagement with political discourse and national ideology from a young age. This comparison raises the question: are our educational policies unintentionally restricting students from developing critical and independent thought?

I've listened to your passionate speeches, especially "Hei Anak Muda", and they often give me goosebumps. Yet, in practice, I worry that the spirit behind those words is being mischanneled or even lost. As one of the anak muda you addressed—what do you truly expect from us? And how can policy better empower us to live up to that call?

3. This may not be a question, but rather a heartfelt expression of appreciation. I have been following your journey since I was in Form 3. I grew up in an environment where your ideals, vision, and the spirit of Reformasi were a part of the conversations around me—especially from my late mother, who was a strong supporter of yours and often spoke with admiration about your integrity and determination.

I would like to sincerely congratulate you for finally becoming our Prime Minister. It is an honour to experience citizenship under your leadership. I understand that carrying the torch of Reformasi is not easy—you are required to balance the diverse needs of the people, analyze complex issues, and win over many hearts, all while staying true to your principles.

Whatever you are planning for this nation, I humbly hope that you will be given the opportunity to serve at least two full terms. As a young Malaysian, I believe real reform takes time, and four to five years is simply not enough to realize such a profound and transformative agenda.

Thank you, Dato’ Seri, for your service and may your leadership continue to inspire the spirit of justice, dignity, and progress for all Malaysians.

1. Flash Flood Management

The frequent and severe flash floods in Kelantan, Terengganu, and Johor highlight the urgent need for the government to strengthen disaster prevention, mitigation, and recovery efforts. While local authorities often respond quickly, the increasing number of flash floods year after year signals a need for more effective long-term planning. If mitigation measures are not significantly improved, the situation will continue to worsen, putting more communities at risk. What long-term steps will the government take to prevent the recurrence of flash floods and improve mitigation strategies across these vulnerable regions?

2. Humanitarian Initiatives by Student Volunteers

Our university has demonstrated the potential of youth-led humanitarian efforts through active engagement in disaster relief and community support. To maximize this impact, the government should create more platforms for collaboration and empower youth initiatives to contribute meaningfully to national disaster response strategies, especially in the context of increasing climate-related emergencies. What steps will the government take to support and collaborate with youth-led humanitarian initiatives?

3. SDG Implementation To Local Society

While universities actively promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among students through various programs and initiatives, broader implementation across Malaysian society is crucial. There must be a stronger push from the government to integrate SDG values into national policies, particularly in areas related to climate resilience and disaster preparedness. How does the government plan to promote the SDGs more effectively across all sectors of Malaysian society?

4. Students initiative contributing to active flood relief

With increasing rainfall leading to increasing flood areas, aside from the initiative from the government as mentioned above. Through what channel that our students may contribute directly towards the flood relief initiative?
