Speaking during a visit to Saberkas headquarters here, he said the council was to set up a co-operative through the help of government agencies, where 30 per cent of the fund would go to the cooperative members while the rest would go to the council.
“We plan to use the fund for youth programmes including activities to prevent youths from getting involved in unhealthy acts like drug abuse,” he said, adding high on their list would be seminars and exhibition similar to those organised by Saberkas.
“We are looking for the best mechanism in youth development, and Seberkas has it. The current situation calls for continuous funding to hold such activities,” he added. He said LDYC which now had about 3,000 members was aiming at reducing social ills among youths in Langkawi.
Saidi was leading a 20-member delegation from LDYC for a visit to the Saberkas headquarters.
