Accommodate differences in opinion: Ahmad Zahid

SYDNEY: The young generation, who are now more open in giving their opinions, should not do so to the extent of jeopardising the country's interests, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said the young generation, like Malaysian students abroad, should realise that they are the country's assets and future.
"Give opinions that are for the country's interests , instead of doing so to destroy the country. Students abroad have got that social assimilation and should translate them (in their actions)," he said at a dinner with Malaysian students in Sydney Tuesday, which was also attended by Malaysian High Commissioner to Australia Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
Ahmad Zahid said the government was always open to opinions and had drawn up development programmes for the young generation, like the National Transformation Plan 2050 (TN50) based on the aspiration of the young people.
There are more than 14,000 Malaysian students in Australia.
Ahmad Zahid is here on a three-day working visit to Australia since last Sunday. — Bernama
