The recipients were Juanson Moidin from Kampung Pahu for tourism, Charlie Gumbolog from Kampung Taginambur for agriculture, and Dell Darion Victor from Kampung Rugading for fisheries. Assistant Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, who is also the Kiulu assemblyman, presented the awards during the Santai Pitimungan Belia Kiulu programme held at Kampung Malanggang Lama. The event, which drew over 500 attendees, was organised by Kelab Belia Prihatin Kiulu and the Kiulu Tourism Association, with support from the Kiulu ADUN's Office. Club chairperson Elsheera Alfred Yapat said the programme aimed to empower youth to share ideas and build networks that contribute positively to their communities. Joniston said recognising youth achievements was key to motivating more young people to take initiative, particularly in tourism, agriculture, and grassroots entrepreneurship. He also proposed the launch of an Idea Pitch Mini platform to support youth-led business or community projects with potential funding and guidance. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
