Local News 1 - Creativity among youths

In today's news on the Star website, there were many different news that were rather interesting and important. But of all the local news, this one caught my attention.


Our dear Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Tun Razak has been in office since the 3rd of April 2009, and since then he has done many wonderful things for example the 1Malaysia concept. But today, our Prime Minister spoke and he said that creativity among youth should be encouraged to allow them to offer sensible ideas for the country's development.


He believes that youths should be innovative and able to use their imagination to the fullest for the benefit of the society. And with this, he launched a RM 20mil fund called the 1Malaysia Youth Fund to develop the creativity among the country's youths.


Personally, I believe that this is very necessary in our country. Many times in history we can see that great inventions and innovations bloom when there is creativity. For example Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. Both men were very creative, one inventing the light bulb and the other the telephone.


But with creativity and creativity alone, they wouldn't have achieved these wonders. Creativity needs to be backed up with knowledge. And with this 1Malaysia Youth Fund, I believe that the creative young minds of Malaysia will be filled with great imagination and knowledge for them to achieve their dreams and ambitions, and to contribute to the country, and even the world.
