Training Description
Honoured to represent Malaysia at ASEAN Youth Summit 2025, themed “Next-Gen Disruptors: Driving Inclusivity & Sustainability in the Digital Age.”
Being part of this summit was a truly meaningful experience. I had the chance to exchange perspectives with youth leaders from neighbouring ASEAN countries — each conversation offering new insights, fresh ideas, and a deeper understanding of our shared challenges in the region.
I especially enjoyed hearing how different countries approach digital inclusion, sustainability, and innovation. These discussions reminded me that while our contexts differ, our goals for a more connected and equitable ASEAN future are strongly aligned.
ASEAN Youth Summit 2025 is organised by KiniEvents and the Malaysian Institute for Development of Professionals (MIDP), supported by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, in collaboration with the EU Delegation to Malaysia.
This year’s summit is powered by key partners:
⚡ Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) — Topic Partner for Sustainable Energy
🌱 Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC) — Topic Partner for Timber Sustainability
💡 CelcomDigi — Topic Partner for Tech & Innovation + Exclusive Telco Partner
🎓 Monash University Malaysia — Academic Partner
Proud to contribute as part of Malaysia’s youth representation, and grateful for the insights, connections, and inspiration gained. Looking forward to more opportunities to collaborate and build a stronger, more inclusive ASEAN together.
