    "content": "We know there is an award that is going on currently, but it is not based in law. It has no legal framework. It is therefore important that this Bill comes into place so that it will provide a legal framework in which we support our youth. Then we will make them realise that they are recognised. We will also encourage them to the idea of service, voluntarism and the idea of value to the society. Therefore, I support this Bill. If you look at the objects of the Bill in Clause 3, it talks about regulating the conferring of awards to young people who voluntarily undertake to fulfil self-development activities. Any person who undertakes to find out their talent and develop and fulfil, naturally, will find a contribution in the society. Naturally, they will find something that will be of beneficial to them. They will find something that will bring income to them. You look again at Clause 3, one of the objects is to present to young people a balanced, non-competitive programme of voluntary activities which encourage personal discovery and growth, perseverance, responsibility to themselves and service to the community. When you interact with the young people, one of the things that strike you is that young people are in a hurry. They have no spirit of perseverance and responsibility. I do not think we can blame them. We as adults must also take responsibility that things have gone in this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
