KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 — This year’s National Youth Day celebration, scheduled for May 15, has been postponed to a later date due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the movement control order (MCO), which has been extended until May 12.
“A new date will be fixed based on the Covid-19 situation,” the Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) said in a statement yesterday.
“The decision was made after taking into consideration views from several parties, including the Malaysian Youth Council (MBM).”
The ministry also stressed that the safety and health of everyone, including youths, was the government’s priority.
