SANDAKAN: Sandakan played host to the second series of the 1Malaysia For Youth (1M4U) Borneo Tour yesterday.
Held at Rumah Warga Tua Sri Harapan here, 15 volunteers, including rock singer Suhaimi Abdul Rahman or Amy Search, took part in the programme.
1M4U assistant manager Nurul Ashikin Ab Aziz said the tour, which started in Kota Kinabalu on Wednesday, would head for Lahad Datu and Semporna before going to Sarawak.
She said the tour, which was aimed at instilling the spirit of volunteerism, noble values and soft skills among youths, received tremendous response from youths in Kota Kinabalu and here.
The 1M4U programme was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is 1M4U chairman, in July as a platform to promote volunteerism and spearhead volunteer activities among youths in the country.
A 1M4U Borneo Tour participant, Khatija Abdul Talib, 24, said she was glad that she was able to take part in a healthy activity as part of her social responsibility and would devote her free time to indulge in volunteer and charitable activities under 1M4U. — Bernama
