The Regent of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, expressed hope that there will be more youths who are capable and skillful, to become admirable leaders in the future.
Therefore, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin wants all parties to continue the development programmes to produce such individuals. The programmes can also serve as a vehicle to further increase the spirit of unity, especially among the people of Perlis.
“In terms of developing Perlis, various aspects of spiritual and physical development need to be achieved, in a balanced and comprehensive manner.
“It is sincerely hoped that more young people, who are skillful and capable, will become admirable leaders,” he said.
Tuanku Syed Faizuddin said this in his address at the closing ceremony of the Towards Excellent Identity Building Workshop, for high-achieving students and selected prefects of secondary schools in Perlis, which was attended by 97 participants.
The workshop was jointly organised by the Tuanku Syed Putra Foundation (YTSP) and the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs), in collaboration with the state Education Department and Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), at a hotel near here.
Meanwhile, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, who is also the chairman of YTSP, said that the workshop, which was first introduced 15 years ago, aimed at producing future leaders among students, who will be trained and work on their leadership potential as well as improve their identity, to become exemplary students among their peers.
“A workshop such as this is also seen to help boost the excellence and achievement of students in Perlis if the participants return to their respective schools with positive inputs and high confidence given throughout the three-day, two-night workshop,” he said.
During the workshop, the participants were involved in carrying out various tasks, including leadership group work, understanding the Malaysian constitution and government, the noble values of the people, a forum towards a brilliant career and improving the English language. To date, a total of 1,161 students have successfully participated in the workshop.
