Self-Reflection
- An awakening call to see beyond the hierarchical bureaucracies and make change within the capacity that one possesses. I was especially inspired by the words of Tan Sri Sharifah Hapsah in creating and manifesting visibility as part of the cornerstone of making change in female empowerment as an instrumental tool to breaking the glass ceilings. Actions speak louder than words and in that sense, a lot of inititiatives are often put in pedestal to be executed by select group of people when in reality, the power is in all of us and beyond the legal intricacies. There's always a way, even in the most sombre predicament; in making a change to oneself to in turn help the community and cause.

Pledge and Commitment
- To materialise the much exciting but daunting venture of becoming an esteemed lawyer and tackle the issues that are close to me as best as possible. One may not be able to do everything, but I want to make a difference in the cause that I believe in, in the best way possible.

Personal Development Plan
- To be more proactive member of the society, (despite the repercussions that might follow) because there are a lot more out there waiting for the camaraderie.
- Actively look for ways to engage my legal skills in causes of feminism, sexual trafficking, public international disputes and changing the gender paradigm in Malaysia.
- I'm passionate about the genesis of wars and the laws behind it as well and to possibly take up that opportunity when the time arrives whilst also actively learning more from the fraternity on the issue and creating awareness in Malaysia.

1. Self-Reflection

I’ve learned that being a leader is not as easy as it seems. Besides leading teams towards certain goals, a leader must also be responsible for ensuring a good relationship between team members while being able to bring positive changes to the community. Before this program was held, I frequently doubted my capabilities of becoming a good leader. However, after going through this amazing YKPSP program, I now have a clearer vision of my abilities in being a good leader. I have managed to improve my speech-giving skills while being exposed to the 17 SDGs, which honestly, I wasn’t particularly paying attention to before. By carrying out mindful exercises, I have also been able to cope with my daily stress better. Not only that, but my general knowledge and understanding of community services particularly the ones that involve refugees has also increased throughout the CBL session.

2. My Pledge and Commitment

- Focus on improving my leadership skills by participating in more clubs and organizations in my university.

- Always be more ethical and rational when leading a team.

- Help refugees by contributing to organizations that aid refugees in the country to develop a sustainable livelihood.

1. Self-Reflection

Throughout the YKLDP programme, I've gained a lot of knowledge particularly in subjects which aren't within my area of expertise. I was exposed to the 17 SDGs in which I genuinely did not know before and came to learn to align my personal goals with the said SDGs. I also learnt that being a leader requires understanding of the people you work with, and aligning your goals together is one of the most important factors in order to achieve the said goal.

1. Self reflection

Ever since young, I am a firm believer that education is the most important part in anyone's life. Education and opportunities can change ones' life in many ways. But to go out there and advocate for equal opportunities and educational rights is not an easy task. Being a leader or setting up an NGO is not a walk in a park and this program has opened my eyes to that. There are still many things left to learn as learning is a lifelong process. From a personal perspective, I have lots of places for improvement and learning. YKCBL has shown me how I am privileged enough to be where I am today and I will do my best to help those who are not as privileged as I am.

2. My pledge and commitment

- I will always use my platform to talk about and spread awareness on education rights, feminist issues and marginalization.

- I plan to start a project on conducting talks on sexual education in schools and communities especially when sexual topics are a taboo in our community.

- I will help the marginalized community to have access towards education in ways I can (financial aid, tertiary education opportunities talks)

3. Personal development plan

-Take part in more organizations and activities to enhance my leadership, communication and problem solving skills.

-Volunteer in NGOs related to education and feminism to help others and educate myself on the causes I am advocating for as well.

-Complete my PhD and get involved in policy making in healthcare

Self- Reflection

Throughout YKLDP, I learned a lot about myself as a person and also a leader. For the past few months, I've been doubting myself and YKLDP made me realised the true potentials I have that's been buried for months. As much as I am inspired by the invited speakers and coaches, I am also amazed by the ambitions and the hearts of the other scholars. They really inspire me to improve myself and start making changes. The best part about YKLDP is it has provided me with the tools that I need to turn my day-dreams into actual life goals. I need to start believing in myself and my goals, and work on them. Volunteerism is one thing that I really enjoy doing as it gives me joy whenever I see smiles on others. Through YKLDP, I have a clearer vision and insight on wha I should do. I want to be an inspiration for people to pursue success.

1. Self Reflection
Throughout the YKLDP, I learnt that being a leader or not, one must always be truthful in whatever decision is made. There’s no right justification for doing anything wrong. One has to remain ethical and find ways to solve a problem while still staying truthful. I also learnt that communication is an important skill to acquire as a leader because, with communication, the right message can be conveyed. It can also help someone to understand an issue better with clear communication. Knowledge is key to becoming a good leader as being knowledgeable, you are able to make informed decisions.

2. My Pledge and Commitment
Upon graduating, I pledge to increase the financial literacy of society, especially those in secondary school and university or youths in general. I would like to collaborate with any student organisation or team up with some friends to create our own student organisation where we focus on providing knowledge on economics, finance and investment while raising awareness on financial literacy.

Self-reflection

I’ve learnt that being a leader is so much more than just being able to coordinate a group to complete a certain task.

Being an ethical leader that always has SDGs as one of their end goals should be the way forward.

1. Self-Reflection

I learnt that a lot of people can be leaders, but not many would leave powerful impacts on society and the world, and aligning your goals with the SDG, would drive the leadership towards it. I used to think my purpose is small, but throughout the course I learnt to recognise my privileges and that I need to put them to use, help those who are not.

2. My Pledge and Commitment

"Becoming a leader is not a smooth journey, there will be moments of disappointment, failures, setbacks, however, the important thing is we need to have the willingness and humbleness to learn throughout the process, and the persistence to recover from the setbacks." Great leaders aspire to take a chance or risk when the right opportunity presents itself. I even become more aware of the importance of SDGs so as to ensure a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Besides youth volunteerism open doors to me to involve in leadership. When one actually volunteer to help others, it wasn’t something for ourselves, but for others and that is really a meaningful and impactful act.

2. My Pledge and Commitment

Upon graduation from actuarial science degree, I am committed to contribute to The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For example, providing free advisory services to ILO constituents relating to public finance, program design and actuarial issues in ensuring the financial and economic sustainability of social protection systems.

Besides I pledge to involve in the development and application of innovative motor insurance produces which incentivize and encourage good driving behaviour in developing nations. Besides, I hope to utilize the actuarial and catastrophe modelling methodologies to evaluate and place a cost on environmental risk. This cost is to be recouped from the entities causing the pollution via an insurance premium.

1.      Self-Reflection

I was inspired by Elon Musk on what he has contributed to the society and also realized that innovation has no boundaries. Following other successful people’s tracks is only limited to one’s starting journey. After that, one should have his own way of making changes to the world. As a leader, one should outsmart the successful people to create brand new ideas which would lead the community into a better life. If everyone keeps on following the old ideas, no new ideas would be generated; and what the world now needs the most are great leaders to cope climate crisis by inventing renewable resources powered systems such as electric cars.

This thought was brought up when I was skimming through the topics prepared by the speakers. The variety of topics made me realized that there were so much more to learn as some of the topics were too specific and need more research ideas in order to fully understand them. From there, I have learnt to always be humble when receiving people's perspectives as no one will know whether one thought's bad idea would be deceitful enough to be a public accredited idea in the future, just like what have been portrayed by Elon Musk.

2.      My Pledge and Commitment

With my knowledge acquired, I pledge to educate public about their responsibilities to the environment and the drawbacks of destroying it. If I were given a chance, I will use the chance to build an alliance to gradually transform the fossil fuel generators into renewable energy systems.

3.      Personal Development Plan (PDP)

·        Improve communication skills in terms of formal talking.

·        Improve understanding in environmental law.
