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 their comments and views expressed at the International Future Leaders Summit 2026 (iFUTURE 2026). The Vice Chancellor's deputy, Noor Azuan Abu Osman, stated that the university always respects the right of students to question and express their opinions.

He emphasized that no disciplinary action was taken against the concerned student. The allegation circulating about this matter is false, according to the statement. The Vice Chancellor explained that platforms like iFUTURE 2026, organized by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), serve as crucial spaces for students to engage in direct dialogue with university leadership.

He emphasized that differing viewpoints are not a threat but rather a part of the intellectual culture that should be nurtured. While they may not always agree on everything, students need to be given a platform to voice their opinions and be heard. The three-day summit began on October 11th and concluded on October 13th, bringing together 1,231 student leaders, comprising 813 Malaysian participants and 418 international delegations from 60 countries, to strengthen international student leadership networks through intellectual discourse and strategic cooperation.
