~ On average, respondents were involved in community activities (M = .92, SD = .68, Mdn = .77) less than three times in the past six months. There was no significant difference between respondents with secondary school education (Mdn = .81) and those with diploma or above education (Mdn = .72), U = 54563, p = .145. Results showed that respondents with religion (Mdn = .81) had significantly more frequent community activities than those with no religion (Mdn = .70), U = 50801, p = .022.
~ On average, respondents were involved in political (M = .98, SD = .76, Mdn = .87) activities less than three times in the past six months. Political activities scores in secondary school education group (Mdn = .62) was significantly lower than that of diploma or above education group (Mdn = 1.00, U = 43055, p < .001). Activism scores in secondary school education group (Mdn = 4.75) was significantly lower than that of diploma or above education group (Mdn = 5, U = 52704, p = .03).
~ The respondents with a diploma or above education were more likely to be classified as radicalists or antagonists than Forms 1-6 respondents, χ2 (3) = 23.4, p < .001. However, there were no significant gender, χ2 (3) = 1.94, p = .586, monthly household income, χ2 (3) = 2.00, p = .572, and religion, χ2 (3) = 7.34, p = .062, differences in the number of people in each of the four political intention groups.
~ Activists (Mdn = 13), radicalists (Mdn = 14), and antagonists (Mdn = 15) perceived universal values as significantly more important than dissociates (Mdn = 12), χ2 (3) = 108.35, p < .001. In addition, antagonists perceived universal values as significantly more important than activists, χ2 (3) = 108.35, p < .001. Also, antagonists perceived openness to change, self-enhancement and self-transcendence as more important than dissociates, p < .001, activists perceived openness to change, self-enhancement and self-transcendence as more important than dissociates, p < .05, and radicalists perceived self-transcendence as more important than dissociates, p = .048.
~ Group differences were found in social well-being only. Antagonists (Mdn = 11) had significantly lower social actualisation than dissociates (Mdn = 12), p < .001. It was also found that antagonists had significantly higher social integration and acceptance than dissociates and radicalists, p < .001. Likewise, activists had significantly higher social acceptance than dissociates and radicalists, ps < .01. Furthermore, activists (Mdn = 14) had significantly higher social integration than radicals (Mdn = 12), p < .001.

~ The alternative or innovative forms of participation were preferred and adopted by youth to actualize their political hopes and ambitions. New forms of engagement may be embodied across a vast array of alternatives, which are non-electoral and non-institutionalized forms of engagement.
~ In order to encourage young people to engage in legal political activities, it is a prerequisite to provide young people and young people-led organizations with adequate opportunities. Also, society should adopt an open-minded attitude to listen and accept suggestions and demands expressed by the youth.
~ Hyperarousal symptoms arising may have significantly alleviated psychological stress responses for an extended period of time. A multilevel approach with varied delivery platforms and remote delivery strategies (e.g. online counselling/support system) shall be established and made more easily accessible to the youth population.
