               35.  I have also personally attended a few of them, particularly FESENI, Karviter, Battle
                   of the Bands, and many others. I have observed how the students have got the
                   zeal, passion, dedication, perseverance, commitment and unyielding spirit in                       23
                   achieving their dreams.
               36.  The students have displayed great organizational, planning, leadership and
                   management skills and maturity, and they must continue to be given the trust and
                   space to develop their capacities.
               37.  I appreciate and would like to thank the Kesatuan Mahasiswa Universiti Malaya
                   (KMUM) for the various initiatives taken in fostering closer engagement and ties
                   with the university management, and for the role played all this while.
               38.  Representatives from KMUM have been in various important university meetings
                   and committee meetings, and have continued to play an important role.
               39.  KMUM has also been in periodical updates with me through various platforms,
                   regarding various student development issues and other issues regarding the
                   university and related developments.
               40.  We will continue to have close and constant engagement with KMUM and all
                   other registered student bodies and societies.
               41.  I have also met with Sekretariat Presiden Kolej UM (SPKUM) and various
                   issues  being  brought  up  have also been  addressed  and  will continue  to  be
                   addressed,regarding the welfare of students in residential colleges and other
                   related issues on campus.
               42.  I will soon meet with all the registered student bodies and associations,which
                   number around 106 student bodies, in briefing them about the latest developments
                   of the university and future strategic plans, and also in listening to their voices and
                   giving them the space to present their views on various issues.
               43.  This will also include the international students’ association and related societies,
                   as all international students are given the right focus and remain important to me
                   and to all of us.
