Abstract
Patriotism is defined as an individual or a group with characteristics that show their love to the motherland. Patriotism among youth should be taken seriously in order to create the nation’s identity as stated in “Wawasan 2020”. Nowadays, youth are the main pillar and heir to the future leadership that will continue to lead the development of the country. Thus, this research is meant to analyse the level of patriotism among youth in Malaysia, specifically in the state of Perak. The methodology used for this research was through quantitative findings using questionnaires that had been distributed to 10 districts in Perak. From 1500 questionnaires that had been distributed, 911 respondents have responded. The samples in this research were selected based on random stratification. The research data had been analysed by using the descriptive statistics to identify the level of patriotism towards the country among youth in Perak. Besides, IBM SPSS 20.0 was also used to analyse the research findings. The results showed that patriotism among youth in Perak was favourable. In order to ensure the sustainability and the achievement of national aspirations in youth, they should be nurtured to embellish their patriotism because youth are an important asset of our country.
