0 comments

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today attended the grand finale of the two-day Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth Music Festival at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara here and presented prizes to the winners.

The prime minister was accompanied by Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Noh Omar, and Umno Youth leader and BN Youth chairman Khairy Jamaluddin.

Speaking to reporters, Khairy said the prime minister was impressed with the BN Youth's approach in reaching out to young people through music rather than through traditionally means.

"We are engaging young people between 16 and 40 years through arts after being engrossed with events like job fairs and housing exhibitions," he said, adding that he planned to take the festival nationwide following overwhelming response from the public.
