Bandar Seri Begawan - The Danau Village Youth Carnival 2006 officially came to a close yesterday following a ceremony officiated by Deputy Minister of Home Affairs cum chief guest Dato Paduka Haji Dani bin Haji Ibrahim.

In his speech, the guest of honour said that His Majesty has declared August 1 to be National Youth Day, commencing this year.

Through the Ministry of Education, the government has provided numerous facilities for education from primary to tertiary levels.

Great facilities, infrastructure and teaching staff alone are not enough to create successful youths. The youths themselves need to be responsible, motivated and hard working to achieve a bright future.

The youths need to realise that as a citizen of this country, they should prepare themselves with knowledge and expertise so they can later contribute to the development of the country, he-added.
