YOUTH MOVE INTO ACTION

Posted by Unknown On Friday, April 2, 2010 8 comments
Having worked with youth for over twenty-five years, I am so pleased to note that many have now shifted into action gear for the nation. There are a couple of activities that I wish to bring to your attention. These were highlighted by various blogs earlier last week and even a few days ago but some may not have come across these announcements so I am posting this with the hope that as many can attend. Your support is deeply appreciated by the organisers.

EVENT NO. 2 BANGKIT SONG WRITING COMPETITION



BANGKIT is a nationwide search for songs written BY the youth, FOR the youth and reflecting the aspirations OF the youth of Malaysia. These songs will be showcased on our website where the youths will vote for the songs that most reflect their thoughts and feelings. The 10 most popular songs will then be professionally recorded and compiled into a BANGKIT CD to be distributed nationwide.

Write a song and tell us what you feel about Malaysia. Do a simple recording (just you and your webcam or radio is good enough). Email your mp3 and the BANGKIT registration form to us. We’ll post it on this website. (We begin on 1 April. Closing date is 15 May.)

What's unique about BANGKIT is that we are aiming to do all of this with NO MONEY. There is NO MONEY for allowances or claims, NO MONEY for design and marketing, NO MONEY for prizes, NO MONEY for recording, NO MONEY for CD production...well, NO MONEY for anything to prove that our nation's youth DO care about the country and want to make a difference.

    Anonymous To lose heart just because of one or two failures is shortsighted indeed. Life is a long journey. Youth should go forward with courage, realizing that the more often you fail, the firmer the foundation you are building for your future life and happiness.

    Ex-MCA Man In their Common Platform of the Pakatan Rakyat which will come into force if the Opposition comes into powers, Malaysians will automatically be registered as voters when they turn 18.

    A very timely reminder indeed. PR cannot afford to make a mistake in their choice of candidates. Neither can they lose this by-election.

    Take care and let's pray for the best.

    God bless you!

    Cheers
