CIMB Young ASEAN Leaders 2018: Lessons Learned From the Program
I was quite lucky to be selected as one of the 50 delegates from 1,400 applicants for this year’s CIMB Young ASEAN Leaders held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was held by CIMB Foundation and UCTC-UKM (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia/National University of Malaysia) under the theme of “Resilience and Innovation towards a Green and Prosperous Lifestyle: Smart City” from October 19th – 25th, 2018. Packed with a super hectic schedule (plus an all-nighters) full of lectures, site visits, and group projects, it really tested my ability to lead myself (and leading others, as I was appointed as the leader of group 3). Nevertheless, it was a really fun experience because I was surrounded with a lot of good friends (and good food, for sure!). Another highlight of my journey here is my experience to represent the delegates for media interview with New Straits Times, Malaysia’s national English newspaper.
