Where Kelantan youth can speak up
Every Friday and Saturday, youths here can gather at Stadium Sultan Muhammad IV to speak their hearts out.
To participate, youths in their 20s and 30s, must register with the Kota Baru Municipal Council and state the issues they want to speak about.
A soft launch of the Speakers Corner was held last month and response among the youths was encouraging, said state Local Government committee chairman Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan after launching the programme at KB Mall here.
Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat came up with the idea of having a Speakers Corner as he felt that the youths did not have a platform to express their views and rights.
In another development, Takiyuddin said the state planned to promote "religious tourism" packages in September to pull in more tourists.
During the month, in which Ramadan falls, many religious-based activities would be organised.
