He also advised the students to always listen to their elders and seek guidance for they are the people who are full of wisdom and will sincerely guide them in their future endeavours.

"Never undermine your elders thinking they have become old and they won't know anything. Elders are wise and they have lots of experience in life," the Speaker said while urging the youths to look up to their elders for guidance.

The Speaker also lauded the students' community of DPGC for electing a lady general secretary for the first time since 1996.
