Staying the Course

Last Saturday, instead of catching up with papers (or laundry), about 20 of us Malaysian academics from around the UK made our way to the High Commission to meet up with some of the country’s brightest students who are studying here.

The plan was simple: connect with them, ask how we can help, and sustain the momentum. This was made easier as the students themselves are curious, engaging, and proactive. They’re doing amazing on campus with bright futures ahead.

Thank you, Education Malaysia London Director Dr. Hanafi Damanhuri for having us, and Dr. Ajlaa Mokhtar for leading the programme. The energy was positive, the food was great (as always), and it’s an honour to give back the little that we have for our future leaders. 🇲🇾
