摘要：A patriotic citizen is one of the qualities of a good citizen. To be patriotic, it requires the individual to understand the meaning and purpose of being a citizen and aware of moral and nationalistic duties for the country. There were some concerns about the purpose and meaning of youth as citizens of Malaysia when mass media and past studies often highlight the low spirit of patriotism among the youth in Malaysia. How they view their meaning and purpose as a citizen of Malaysia? This study aims to describe the meaning and purpose in life among public university students as citizens of Malaysia.
