The Second Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS 2008)

From the 2nd to the 3rd of August, Nikko Hotel in Kuala Lumpur will be hosting the Second Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS 2008). This event is organized by the United Kingdom & Eire Council for Malaysia Students, UKEC (Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar Malaysia di United Kingdom & Eire), which attracts Malaysian students from all universities throughout the globe. The main objective is to conduct a platform for the Malaysian students at tertiary level to participate and engage in a dialogue with prominent figures in Malaysia with issues covering political, social, and economy (I hate the fact that environmental issues are not being highlighted).

Among the speakers at the Second MSLS includes the following:

1. YAB Dato' Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi, Prime Minister of Malaysia, who will give the keynote address and focus on the issue of governance with the title, "Transparency and Accountability in Governance – Primary Concerns of Modern Malaysia?"
   
   
2. DYTM Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah Ibni Sultan Azlan Muhibuddin Shah, The Regent of Perak, who will give the Royal Address titled, "Evolution of Malaysian Minds: Issues and Challenges towards a First World Mentality."
   
   
3. Y.B. Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Education Minister of Malaysia, who will give the Ministerial Address, "The National Education Blueprint: Addressing Racial Polarization and Sustainable Economic Development."
   
   
4. Dato’ Nazir Razak, CEO of CIMB Group, one of the speakers on the issue of Industry and Economy Forum, “Looking Out of the Window: The presence of Malaysian Corporate Giants on the global economic stage”.
   
   
5. Professor Dr. Shad Saleem Faruqi, Professor of Law and Legal Advisor, Mara University of Technology (UiTM), will be one of the speakers on judiciary and legal forum, “The Rule of Law: A Question of Restoring Faith in the System?”
   
   
6. Zainah Anwar, Executive Director of Sisters in Islam (SIS), one of the speakers on religios diversity forum, "Coping with Religious Diversity: The Challenge of Being Just to All Within the Context of Islam as the Official Religion".
   
   
7. Khairizul Rizzuan, Chairman of UKEC, one of the speakers on students forum, "Student Activism: The Way Forward".

The best part about this Summit is the fact that REGISTRATION IS FREE! So to those who are very interested, please do register now because the seats are limited to the first 500 registered participants. I advise to all, BM and English debaters, to attend this Summit because this would truly be rewarding as it would help to build your character, enhance your network of connections, and even make your resume/cv much attractive.
