Some of our most promising young leaders have been selected to be a part of former US president Barack Obama’s leadership program, and we can’t be more proud!

The year-long programme, dubbed ‘Obama Foundation Leaders: Asia Pacific’ will kick off in December when Obama visits Kuala Lumpur to meet the selected Malaysians along with other young leaders around Asia.
