“Leadership maturity characterised by diplomacy, conferences, and decency is appropriate to be appointed as the consistent character and credibility of the UMP MPP.

“Interaction with the management through various consultation channels and professional and harmonious deliberation should be maintained.

“This is important to ensure that the MPP is seen as a body that truly represents students’ interests as a whole.

“However, what is more important is the MPP’s ability to act as the students’ voice in a professional manner without being influenced by any negative sentiment either on or off campus.

“These people will move in tandem with the management to preserve a prosperous and conducive campus climate within the framework of the UMP Strategic Plan 2021-2025 (UMP25),” he said at the MPP Appointment Presentation & Oath Taking Ceremony for the 2021/2022 Session at the Astaka Hall, UMP.
