Efforts to reach out to young people strengthened in line with Sultan Nazrin’s edict – Zulkifli

PUTRAJAYA, JUNE 18 -- The Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) will strengthen efforts to reach out to young people in line with the directive of the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, who wants religious leaders to play an active role in addressing the threat of extremism and false information in the digital age. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Hasan said his party upholds the edict and will use it as a guide in the implementation of related programs and initiatives. "At the level of the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), we will uphold and respond to the messages and calls of the Sultan of Perak as best we can. God willing, we will mainstream the messages and warnings conveyed," he said. Zulkifli said this to reporters after officiating the National and International Ma'al Hijrah 1448/2026 Prime Lecture here today. Last Friday, Sultan Nazrin said religious leaders need to play a more active role in reaching out to young people to address the threats of extremism, false information and polarization that are increasingly prevalent in the digital age. His Majesty said that youth are currently facing various challenges including concerns about climate change, conflict, economic uncertainty, digital polarisation and declining trust in social institutions. -- BERNAMA

‘Haji Lestari’ Campaign Promotes Sustainable Haj Practices Through Ihram Clothing Recycling

MAKKAH, May 22 -- The Haji Lestari Campaign implemented by Malaysia provides a sustainable platform for pilgrims to recycle used ihram clothing, supporting efforts to reduce textile waste after the haj season. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Dr Zulkifli Hasan said the initiative by Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) in collaboration with the Saudi Arabian authorities forms part of efforts to instil a culture of environmental care among haj pilgrims. He said the campaign provides a comprehensive ecosystem enabling pilgrims to donate used ihram clothing, as well as to segregate other waste materials such as paper and plastic for recycling. “Haj should also encompass a dimension of environmental care. Caring for the environment is a trust and responsibility shared by all humanity, and the haj pilgrimage is one of the platforms that can reflect this commitment,” he told reporters after launching the Haji Lestari Campaign here today. He said the approach enabled ihram clothing that might previously have been thrown away or abandoned after the haj season to be given new value through recycling and upcycling. Zulkifli said the initiative implemented by Malaysia also supports Saudi Arabia’s efforts to expand circular economy practices and environmental sustainability in line with Saudi Vision 2030. He said Malaysia was among the first countries to provide a comprehensive support system to ensure the success of the sustainable haj agenda, including raising pilgrims’ awareness that environmental care is also part of their responsibility as Muslims. “Malaysia is a global leader in sustainable haj, and we want to convey the message to the international community that environmental care is an essential part of the haj experience,” he said. Zulkifli said the effort demonstrated that demonstrated that sustainable practices can be adopted even in the world’s largest gathering, making haj not only a means of spiritual purification but also a platform for promoting environmental responsibility. --BERNAMA
