• 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.

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?

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?

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?

Public Housing Program

Singapore public housing program is one or if not the best housing program in the world. In term of affordability, cleanliness, comfortability and maintenance. Why can't Malaysia follow or adapt to how Singapore build and maintain their Public housing?

Question 2

Cleanliness

Japan and Singapore is one of the cleanness country in the world. Why can't we be as clean as Japan?

Question 3

Akhlak

Social problems is a common nowadays. There are more news on stealing, drug usage and killing. Why can't we put more emphasis on "akhlak" in our education system so we can build a more civil society?

Question 4

Education

Why don't Malaysia Build more form 6 schools or rather build colleges for form 6 than Matriculation?

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.

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. Many students prefer to work rather than pursue higher education. When asked why, they stated that even without a degree or diploma, they are able to earn more than some degree holders?

2. From the government's perspective, what initiatives have been introduced to help fresh graduates secure better salaries

3.What efforts have been made to encourage students to enroll in higher education?

As the former education minister and strong leadership in student activist, what is the boldest move that Dato' Sri will suggest in reforming the future of Malaysia's higher education system?

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?
