  "summary": "The inaugural ilmu Fellowship has been announced by the YTL Foundation, bringing together 25 Malaysians from government, business, and civil society for a 10-month leadership programme. The initiative, developed in partnership with the University of Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, Acumen Academy, Pemandu Associates, and leadership coach Alvin Ung, aims to foster collaboration and nation building among participants. The selection process involved a panel of 25 experts, who assessed candidates on their leadership qualities, contributions to their organisations and communities, and willingness to learn from different perspectives. The diverse cohort includes former world squash champion Nicol David, who will use the programme to grow as a leader and advocate for her community.",
