MBS welcomes Sabah’s decision to retain youth age limit at 40

Kota Kinabalu: Majlis Belia Sabah (MBS) has welcomed the Sabah Cabinet’s decision to keep the youth age limit at 40 years.

Its president Abqaree Fawwaz Abekan said the decision would ensure those aged between 31 and 40 in Sabah would not be excluded from youth development programmes.

He said the move took into account the state’s demographic and geographical challenges.

Abqaree responded to the announcement by Sabah Youth Development, Sports and Creative Economy Minister Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan during the state-level National Youth Consultative Council meeting.
