Malaysian Youth Council (MYC) is in full support on the Japanese government’s initiative through a media statement by the Japanese Ambassador to Malaysia H.E Mr. Takahashi Katsuhiko recently in sharing their expertise and experience in disaster management in an effort to reduce such disasters from worsening impacted Malaysians and to the global citizens in general.
This initiative will greatly strengthen diplomatic relationships between both nations since the inception of the Look East Policy in addition to resolving existing weaknesses within the country’s severely criticized disaster management recently.
MYC wholeheartedly welcomes such thoughtful gestures seeing as to how MYC also benefits greatly from the experience and expertise of the Japanese government in handling crisis.
Through the 1Malaysia Youth Volunteer Community (MyVOC), MYC had already carried out a MyVOC Disaster Management Program held on the 27th – 31st October of 2017 in Tokyo, Japan in which MYC had the pleasure in learning from a few selected Japanese disaster management organizations regarding steps to achieve readiness in facing crisis and techniques in handling disaster victims as well as disaster management using current available resources.
Therefore, MYC is confident that the Malaysian government specifically the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) would include NGOs in the Japanese governments offer to learn and benefit from their experience and expertise in efficient disaster management.
MYC is certain that this beneficial cooperation will continue to strengthen the Malaysian-Japanese bilateral relationship as Japan has already established a positive image through other area of cooperation be it education, trade, technical skills and prestigious youth exchange programs such as the Ship for Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Program (SSEAYP).

Majlis Belia Malaysia (MBM) menyambut baik hasrat Kerajaan Jepun melalui kenyatan media Duta Besar Jepun ke Malaysia H.E. Mr. Takahashi Katsuhiko baru-baru ini berkongsi kepakaran dan pengalaman di bidang pengurusan risiko bencana dalam usaha mengurangkan kesan bencana yang lebih teruk kepada rakyat Malaysia secara khususnya dan kepada masyarakat global secara amnya.
Hasrat ini amat baik bagi memperkukuhkan hubungan diplomatik kedua-dua buah Negara semenjak Dasar Pandang Ke Timur di samping mampu memperbaiki kelemahan pengurusan bencana negara yang dikritik oleh rata-rata rakyat Malaysia baru-baru ini.
MBM sangat mengalu-alukan hasrat murni memandangkan MBM juga mendapat manfaat yang amat besar daripada pengalaman dan kepakaran Jepun menguruskan bencana.
MBM melalui Komuniti Sukarelawan Belia 1Malaysia (MyVOC) telah pun mengadakan MyVOC Disaster Management Program yang berlangsung pada 27 – 31 Oktober 2017 di Tokyo, Jepun di mana MBM mempelajari daripada beberapa organisasi pengurusan bencana Jepun terpilih tentang langkah kesiapsiagaan menghadapi bencana dan teknik menangani mangsa-mangsa bencana serta kaedah pengurusan bencana menggunakan kaedah apa yang ada.
Justeru, pihak MBM yakin Kerajaan Malaysia khususnya Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA) akan turut dan terus melibatkan NGO-NGO dalam tawaran Kerajaan Jepun ini untuk mempelajari pengalaman dan kepakaran pengurusan bencana yang efisyen.
MBM amat yakin kerjasama yang amat bermanfaat ini mampu terus memperkukuhkan hubungan Malaysia-Jepun memandangkan Jepun telah pun mempunyai imej yang baik melalui kerjasama dalam bidang pendidikan, perdagangan, kemahiran teknikal dan program pertukaran belia berprestij tinggi seperti The Ship for Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Program (SSEAYP).
