“We are aware that the challenges of life are not easy for us to achieve success whether in the field of employment or business endeavours.
“It is very challenging in the future, that is why, my friends and I at the Petra Jaya Service Centre are introducing programmes for the young generation in Petra Jaya that could boost their skills in the management of events as well as expose them to networking among the youth,” he said.
He said this during the Iftar Jamaie Nexgen Petra Jaya programme at Dewan Hikmah, here on Thursday (April 27).
Fadillah appealed to the younger generation to acquire knowledge according to their respective expertise to help Sarawak achieve a developed and high-income state status.
“Implement various programmes in the village or hometown so that we can get ourselves involved and get exposed to community life.
“From there, we can understand the community’s needs and give suggestions to the government on how to change the area to be better and be able to create a comfortable life,” he said.
