Leading with Purpose
Messages of the Vice Chancellor SELECTED SPEECHES AND ADDRESSES

10. I am reminded of a quote by the late Nelson Mandela: “Education is the most
powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Today, I ask you to
wield that weapon with courage. Let your ideas cut through indifference. Let your
values illuminate the path forward. Let your voices echo with urgency and hope.
11. In closing, I extend my deepest gratitude to our partners across the Asia Pacific
Rim Universities, to our speakers, facilitators, and organizers, and to every student
here who made the journey to be part of this crucial dialogue.
12. The road to a sustainable and just future is long—but it begins with steps like
these. And I cannot imagine better companions on this journey than all of you
gathered here today.
13. Together, let us build not just a better future—but a future worth believing in.

Thank you, and once again, welcome to Universiti Malaya.
