Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has made an ambitious request for Budget 2020.
He is asking Putrajaya to provide RM6 billion to create 350,000 jobs over the next five years.
“Job creation is the ultimate priority,” Syed Saddiq told Malaysiakini in an interview yesterday.
“You can win 100 gold medals but if we’re not able to resolve basic economic issues which involve young people, which at its base is jobs, we won’t be able to serve their primary interest,” he added.
