Young leaders from Malaysia have been selected for the British Council’s prestigious global policy programme “Future Leaders Connect”.
In partnership with the prestigious Møller Institute at Cambridge University, Future Leaders Connect aims to help the delegates develop their skills, expand their networks and ultimately, make policy change.
The young Malaysians are David Lim, Manager of the Social Innovation Team at the Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre; Seah Shu Yen, a dentist; Wan Farihah Ahmad Fahmy, Capacity Building Officer on the Better Health Programme Malaysia and Zaim Mohzani, External Affairs Director of KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific.
This year’s young leaders were selected from over 9,000 applicants worldwide in a competitive process where they pitched their innovative policy ideas for global change.
British Council CEO Scott McDonald, says, “Future Leaders Connect is an opportunity for emerging leaders in Malaysia to collaborate with their counterparts from all over the world, and to benefit from the sharing of ideas and knowledge in tackling global issues and challenges. We wish them every success in the weeks ahead.”
