KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 20): The government will do its utmost within its available capacity to help young people navigate various issues, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Through a Facebook post on Thursday night, he said that this commitment was given after listening to the views and advice of youths on various matters at the "Temu Anwar" session and the Opening Ceremony of the 2026 International Youth Assembly (Hamka) in Klang, Selangor on Thursday.

"Today, young people face an increasingly complex world where differences of opinion and clashes of ideas are common; however, these must be guided by knowledge, arguments, and manners, rather than sentiments, hatred or group interests.

"I listened to the views and advice of the youths on various matters, and insya-Allah, we will try our best within our available capacity to help young people with various issues," he said.

Regarding Hamka, the Prime Minister said the name of the assembly reminds him of the cleric and literary figure Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah, who was renowned as a thinker, a lion of the podium, and a warrior of the pen.

He noted that the figure's works and thoughts left a major impact on the younger generation and taught the importance of knowledge, the courage to express views and openness in generating ideas.
