LANGKAWI - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants the younger generation, as future leaders of the country, to possess values and ideals which can bring changes to themselves and society.

Anwar said idealism could help youths to find the meaning of truth and justice and reject any form of cruelty and oppression in the country.

"Now that I have been given the trust, I want to make youths into a new generation who can think, gain knowledge and be able to tell what wrongdoing, cruelty, oppression and cheating are.

"They don’t pay heed to whether politicians, professionals or which parties are involved. A wrong is still a wrong ... because by studying and discerning between truth and untruth, youths will not follow blindly," he said.

He said this at the "Santai Petang dan Dialog’’ with the Prime Minister at the Langkawi Vocational College here today. -Bernama
