Malaysian Student Leaders Summit 2008

It has been a week since i came back from this event. Although it was tiring, but it was really enjoyable and fun.

I have never expected that such grand event could really be held in such a successful way. Over 700 Malaysian students, either studying in overseas or in local, gathered together to discuss about the key problems which we are facing right now.

This is really a rewarding experience, by getting to know that there are actually so many scholars out there, regardless of races, age, and languages, are willing to bring up the "unspeakable" issues in Malaysia, such as Social Contract, Civil Service, Education and Judiciary System.

Plus, I got the chance to know so many scholars, be it JPA, Telekom, Bank Negara, Yayasan UEM, Petronas or even self-funded(FAMA)-'father mother' scholarship, from diversifying fields, namely, Economics, Political Studies, Dentistry, Engineering, Law, Social Science, Doctor and so on. I personally feel honoured and interesting to talk to them, as most of them are older than me, and have been to overseas for years. It's really different if u can go to study abroad. The perspectives u have will surely be different and varied from countries to countries.

After meeting them in this summit, I felt that nothing is impossible. I mean, I have actually met a guy who has failed to secured a JPA scholarship, and he worked hard for his STPM, and finally he made it! He has been offered a scholarship to study in University of Manchester, UK for accounting and finance. And some of them who didnt get any scholarship, still they managed to make a name for themselves by working hard. (UK, wait for me, i will be there!!)


To sign off, i hope that the annual MSLS will be held again!! See u guys in a year time. May all of u good luck in your future undertakings!
