25 chosen for inaugural ilmu Fellowship

The inaugural ilmu Fellowship has been launched, bringing together 25 Malaysians from various sectors such as government, business, and civil society. This 10-month leadership programme, fully funded by YTL Foundation, aims to nurture a new generation of leaders committed to nation building. The selection process involved 25 panelists from diverse sectors and garnered over 800 applicants, with 54 making it to the final stage.

Developed in partnership with the University of Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, Acumen Academy, Pemandu Associates, and leadership coach Alvin Ung, the programme offers immersive retreats, workshops, coaching, peer learning, and practical leadership initiatives. The fellowship's diversity is seen as a strength, allowing participants to learn from one another, challenge their assumptions, and develop a broader understanding of leadership.

Participants will explore leadership, public policy, systems change, and cross-sector collaboration, culminating in a four-day residential programme at the University of Oxford.
