He said the ground approach was crucial to ensure that all government assistance, financing and programmes genuinely reached the target groups and were able to address problems faced by the people at the grassroots level. “My message is clear to all government agencies and financial institutions — find ways to reach out to the people. Do not wait for them to come to offices to seek assistance,” he said when speaking at the 2026 National Youth Day (HBN) celebration here today. Also present were Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun and Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari. The Prime Minister said the relevant ministries and agencies needed to be more proactive in engaging small entrepreneurs and young traders on the ground. “If there are small stalls in Kuala Lumpur, Seremban or anywhere else, go and meet them, ask about their problems, whether they have capital, whether facilities are sufficient or not. The government must be present to help the people,” he said. -- BERNAMA
