MIRI: Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau has reminded Kayan youths that education is the window to career opportunities.
“In years to come be it finding jobs and business, it will be getting more and more competitive as more people are better educated or become knowledgeable in business strategies,” he said at a pre-Christmas dinner organised by the Sarawak Kayan youth church service here last Sunday (Nov 29).
Thus, he urged Kayan youths to always improve themselves, especially in education.
“There are available opportunities offered by local and foreign education institutions here in Miri and Sarawak.
“If you have a diploma today, aim for a degree through continuous learning.”
He observed that people who were truly successful discovered that the secret to their success was in their ability to discover their strengths and to organise their life so that those strengths could be applied.
“Having strong religious belief will make you strong in facing life’s challenges and difficulties,” he added.
He urged Kayan youths to appreciate the peace and harmony in the state and country, and work together with the government to ensure this prevail.
Dennis also advised them to be wise when using social media and urged youths not to easily be influenced by individuals or groups who pretend to champion their so-called rights.
At the event, he presented minor rural project funds of RM20,000 to help fund the youth church’s activities.
Nearly 300 youths attended the event.
