Dedicated to amplifying the perspectives of young Malaysians, YouthSAYS is the go-to space for fresh ideas, meaningful discussions, and impactful storytelling.

Championing Youth Voices

One standout contributor is Nur Ramizah Safwah, whose provocative article, “I Think Sex Education Should Be Taught in Malaysian Schools. Here’s Why,” has sparked vital conversations about a sensitive topic. Addressing misconceptions and the cultural barriers surrounding sex education, Nur Ramizah advocates for age-appropriate curriculums to empower young Malaysians with accurate information.

Her piece highlights key challenges, such as inadequate teacher training and the harmful spread of misinformation, while making a compelling case for progress. Resonating with readers nationwide, her article demonstrates how youth-led storytelling can confront societal taboos and drive meaningful change.

Meanwhile, Pearlyn Tee’s heartfelt article, “My Path to Growth and Resilience as I Transitioned from School to University,” offers a deeply personal account of navigating the shift from structured schooling to independent university life. Drawing from her experiences at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia, Pearlyn shares the struggles of adjusting to newfound freedom, managing academic pressure, and embracing diversity.

Her candid reflections and practical tips—like setting achievable goals and practising self-care—provide a relatable guide for students facing similar transitions.
