The Malaysian Indian Youth Council has claimed that the education department has not been receptive to its programme to fight crime and gangsterism among youths.“It is ironic that we want to help solve the problem of gangsterism in schools and we are not allowed to do so by the education department,” said its president A. Rajaretnam.
“The Youth and Sports Ministry and the Education Ministry must work together in fighting the problem.“If they do not find a common platform to eliminate the problem, then our society is headed for a bleak future,” Rajaretnam said before the opening of the council’s annual general meeting.
He said the council had presented a paper, A Crime Free Society of Youths to the Sports Ministry but there had been no response.“We are serious in wiping out the problem in schools, colleges and universities but unfortunately we are not given access to help,” he said, adding that whenever the council asked for funds, only a small amount would be given,
MIC president Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu, who attended the AGM, urged youth organisations to apply to the relevant ministries armed with proposals that would help the youths in developing their skills, entrepreneurship and leadership qualities.
