One Young World’s official website cited Syed Saddiq’s role as a minister and also his participation in “Projek Reben Kuning”. For those who don’t know, the initiative was aimed at providing job opportunities for young ex-convicts.
The award honours 5 prominent politicians aged between 18 to 35 who have left a positive impact and influence to the youth community in their respective countries. Furthermore, the nominees are often those who highlight the benefit of including young people in the politic world.
