International film actress Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh has been appointed the first 1Malaysia For Youth (iM4U) Mentor.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today handed the appointment letter to Yeoh at the Prime Minister’s Office in the Perdana Putra Complex here.
Also present were Chief Secretary to the Government Datuk Seri Dr Ali Hamsa and iM4U Board of Trustrees member Datuk Irmohizam Ibrahim.
iM4U is the brainchild of Najib, who is also chairman of iM4U’s Board of Trustees for Malaysian youth to carry out volunteer and nation-building activities which can benefit communities and social groups.
The iM4U mentorship is to recognise the achievements of outstanding Malaysians who have contributed towards nation-building and are role models to the youth.
As iM4U mentor, Yeoh’s first initiative is to work with iM4U to develop a campaign to fight crime where the campaign will focus on areas where women are particularly vulnerable, such as car parks, areas near LRT stations and bus stops.
“I was very distraught when I heard about women, particularly traumatised in the car parks by snatch thieves. We are going to design ways to raise awareness to make Malaysia safer. Once we have the campaign in place, we will announce it,” she told reporters here today.
