Dr. M.L.A.M. Hizbullah argued that youth support should focus on enabling self-employment rather than providing monthly stipends. He called for State action to equip young people in sectors such as agriculture and technology so they can generate income and contribute to national assets, and urged concrete implementation of the motion.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Give me one minute, Hon. Deputy Chairperson, and I will finish.

¶ 02 Youth do not need mere monthly stipends. If we equip them to be self-employed—whether in agriculture, technology, or other sectors—they will generate income and assets for the nation. The State must protect and empower them. I urge that this motion be implemented with concrete action. Thank you.
