Pahang: Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, is confident that the Girl Guides Association Malaysia (PPPM) is an excellent platform not only for shaping young girls into capable leaders but also for instilling noble values and equipping them to face future challenges. Her Royal Highness, who is Pahang PPPM president, said individuals must adopt noble values as these qualities are essential in shaping a leader.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Her Royal Highness emphasized that the association instills strong moral values in its members, teaching them leadership skills while emphasizing etiquette, traditions, and respect for diverse cultures. She noted the importance of learning manners and the role of the association in guiding young girls to become exemplary leaders and mothers.
Tunku Azizah shared these insights during the national-level World Thinking Day (WTD) celebration at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA). The event was attended by Bandar Tun Razak MP and PPPM president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, PPPM chief commissioner Datuk Yeoh Soo Keng, and nearly 1,500 Girl Guides from 16 contingents across the country. The celebration carried the theme "Our Story."
According to Tunku Azizah, the noble values instilled in each Girl Guide through various programmes serve as a unifying bond, strengthening familial ties among Malaysia's diverse communities. She emphasized that the association is multiracial and does not discriminate based on religion, contributing to the advancement of a multiracial nation.
