The General Conference Youth Council met 8 January at the Methodist Headquarters to discuss the new Government legislation that pertains to youth organizations – the Youth Act 668.

Members of the Council debated over the pros and cons of registering under the Act. A task force was formed to look into the MYF Constitution as amendments would be needed to fit the requirements of the Youth Act. 

Elections were also held for the Secretary and Treasurer positions that fell vacant. Edwin Selvanesan Selladurai, TAC MYF President, was elected Secretary; Kevin Law Lee Loong, SCAC MYF President, was elected Treasurer. Rev. Chan Thiam Hee (CAC) remains the Chairman. 

The GCYC has a representative in the Majlis Belia Malaysia (MBM) – brother A. Daniel. He encouraged the Conferences to send members to MBM programmes and events. Representatives were also appointed to attend the Majlis Belia Negeri at the state level.
