Kota Kinabalu: Perintis Muda (Permuda) acts as a bridge between the government and youths.

Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, Datuk Dr. Mohd Arifin Arif, said the establishment of Permuda under the supervision of the Sabah Youth Council (MBS) proves that the State government treats all youth equally.

“The collaboration between MBS and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) shows the government is committed in developing the talent and potential holistically when officiating at the Permuda event at Wisma Wanita.
