The agenda of the Student Parliament Conference revolved around pertinent issues affecting the student bodies.

The delegates engaged in thoughtful discussions on the alignment of the student demerit system, aiming to positively impact student involvement in campus life. The discussions involved exploring ways to refine and improve the demerit system to ensure that it serves as a positive tool for fostering student accountability and responsibility. Delegates shared insights, experiences, and best practices from their respective institutions to contribute to the collective understanding of how to create an environment that encourages students to actively participate in campus activities while upholding community standards.

At the conference, there was a clear recognition of the significance of providing conducive living and learning spaces for students. Delegates and participants engaged in discussions centered around proposals aimed at enhancing facilities and accommodations so that students can thrive in an environment conducive to their academic and personal development. These discussions emphasized the importance of creating spaces that not only meet basic needs but also foster a sense of belonging, safety, and well-being among students.

The conference also welcomed observers from the Student Representative Council of Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah and Universiti Kolej Widad. This showcasing a collaborative spirit among student representatives from different institutions.

The importance of such conferences lies not only in addressing immediate concerns but in laying the groundwork for the future of education. It is hoped that the intellectual engagement demonstrated by the delegates during this conference will have a positive impact on shaping the direction of our institutions and the quality of education for generations to come.

In closing, the Student Parliament Conference exemplifies the power of student voices in influencing positive change. As the outcomes of these discussions are implemented, we anticipate a more vibrant and student-centric campus experience for all.
