PETALING JAYA: The government should look into the financial and module aspects of the national service training programme before reviving it, says Seputeh MP Teresa Kok.
She said the government must study the cost involved, because new training camps will be required, costing millions in public funds when the country is grappling with a RM1.5 trillion debt.“If we truly want to restart the PLKN , then first, we should consider the cost and, second, the content ,” she told FMT. The programme must bring together youths from all communities, she said.

The national service programme and the much-criticised civics bureau were abolished by the Pakatan Harapan government in 2018 but there have been repeated calls for national service to be revived.Amanah Youth leader Hasbie Muda said the government may consider reintroducing the national service programme if it can bring down the cost. A total of RM8 billion had been spent on PLKN since its inception in 2003.
PLKN was first introduced in December 2003 to bring together 18-year-olds from different ethnic backgrounds in three-month programmes.
