UM nafi ambil tindakan tatatertib terhadap mahasiswa susulan iFUTURE 2026

Universiti Malaya (UM) has denied claims that disciplinary action was taken against a student following his comments and viewpoints presented at the International Future Leaders Leadership Summit 2026 (iFUTURE 2026). Deputy Chancellor Noor Azuan Abu Osman stated that the university always respects students' right to question and voice their opinions.

He clarified that no disciplinary action was taken against the concerned student. Consequently, the allegations circulating about this matter are incorrect, according to the statement. The Deputy Chancellor emphasized that platforms like iFUTURE 2026, established by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), serve as crucial spaces for students to engage in direct dialogue with university leadership.

According to him, differences in viewpoints are not a threat but rather a part of the intellectual culture that needs to be nurtured. While they may not always agree on everything, students should be given a platform to express themselves and be heard, he added. The three-day summit kicked off on October 11th and concluded on October 13th, bringing together 1,231 student leaders from 813 Malaysian participants and 418 international delegates from 60 countries, to strengthen international student leadership networks through intellectual discourse and strategic collaboration.
