KUALA LUMPUR: Youth associations and local non-governmental organisations have been urged to assist the government obtain inputs to formulate the 2050 National Transformation (TN50) policy.

He said the different aspirations and desires of every youth encompassing various aspects should be heard.
"The inclusive involvement of TN50 by the government needs the assistance of youth associations and NGOs to go down to the ground to approach youths in both urban and rural areas.
"Every youth has a view on how to form an ideal country and this is the process we are using now to hear the views of as many youths as possible to formulate TN50," he said.
TN50 which is an inspiration of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, is a futuristic policy to shape the direction of the country in the next 30 years after 2020.
