YBAM Kedah State Liaison Committee was established in 1972, a great effort by the Late President Tan Ah Yee and others and was one of the earliest SLCs to be formed. At the early stage of establishment, it was composed of the only two groups in the state at that time, namely the Chinese Section and English Section of the Kedah Buddhist Association Youth Circle. Later, under the zealous promotion and encouragement of YBAM to form a Buddhist association in every town, this set off a wave of the establishment of Buddhist associations. Buddhist activities were also actively organised such as Dharma propagation activities, Dharma talks, Dharma classes, chanting, Dharma exploration, and Buddhist hymns classes. To date, there are 32 Member Organisations in Kedah. The Member Organisations and SLC work closely together to attain greater achievements.
