CHAPTER EVENTS
FLAGSHIP EVENTS
Malaysian Public Policy Competition
The Malaysian Public Policy Competition (MPPC) is an annual case-based competition that engages Malaysian students in a comprehensive public policy-making process. This competition is a unique opportunity for participants to understand the importance of conception and implementation of public policies, as well as to tackle common dilemmas in striking the right balance between populist policies and realistic policies. The MPPC gives participants the opportunity to not only engage with renowned experts from the government, private sector and academia but also interact with highly qualified peers who share similarly high levels of passion and curiosity with regards to public policy making. During the residential challenge, participants identify pressing national issues, according to a selected theme, and devise policies to address them. Over the years, MPPC has succeeded in giving Malaysian undergraduates a chance at public policy-making within the real world context.Industry Insights
Industry Insights (I²) aims to bring key personnel from reputable companies of various industries to provide ambitious and career-motivated students, from institutions both local and abroad, an insight into the various industries in Malaysia. Since 2013, ICMS has successfully carried out Industry Insights as an annual flagship event; with milestones being achieved annually while adapting to include the latest challenges of our era. I² does not only aspire to give students an opportunity to acquire knowledge and experience beyond their own fields of study, but is also a platform for students to showcase critical thinking and presentation skills. In turn, this is also a chance for them to put up their best performance in front of leading firms’ representatives and talent leaders, hence improving their employability.
