THE MAKING OF OUR FUTURE LEADERS

Initiated by the government, National Service Programme (NSP) was conceived out of a desire to inculcate the spirit of patriotism in the hearts and minds of Malaysian youths of eighteen years of age. A three-month stint-based program, NSP will also tap and instill the "Malaysia Boleh" culture in the youths regardless of their racial and religious background, besides shaping them into disciplined, independent and resilient citizens capable of advancing the nation ahead. The youth of the country constitutes 60% of the population; hence their talents and energies are integral elements of national development and progress. NSP is for those born in 1986. Ultimately, the program is envisioned to produce true patriots who would inherit the responsibility of integrating the various races together and nation-building, which are the goals of Vision 2020.

Launched by the Prime Minister on 22nd February 2004, National Service Programme is :

based on the principles of the "Rukun Negara"
for both gender
not a military-style conscription
focused on a multi-disciplinary co-curiculum

and has its own uniform, anthem and logo.

The objectives are to:

Develop a young generation who are patriotic and with love for their country
Enhance unity among the multi-racial communities in the country
Instill a spirit of caring and volunteerism among society
Produce an active, intelligent and confident generation
Develop positive characteristics among the younger generation through good values

The NSP Programme will be conducted over a three-month period during which the participants will go through four modules as follows:
