AT UKEC’s 4th Malaysian Student Leaders’ Summit (MSLS) in 2010, I spoke on empowering youth and lowering the voting age to 18. That has now been achieved through an Act of Parliament, though apparently some wish to undo that unanimous parliamentary decision. For MSLS in 2011, I wrote that diversity is much more than pre-packaged labels, and overseas students should take the opportunity to witness how other countries accommodate differences. In 2012, I spoke on the role of youth in nation-building, and the need to appreciate our history in pursuing reforms for the future. I developed this in my keynote in 2015, arguing that for the nation to heal, we need to appreciate the initial objectives of the nation: to remember the inspirations from our past, the continuous thread of federalism and our diverse interactions with foreign powers, and understanding how this resulted in our institutions today.
