He said that many nations had fallen not due to external attacks, but as a result of internal betrayal through corruption, abuse of power and unchecked greed. The Sultan urged young people to reject corruption and abuse of power, and to rise as a generation that breaks the cycle of moral decay. The discourse brought together 500 participants, including leaders of youth organisations, students from institutions of higher learning, and stakeholders in youth and national development.
