We shall appreciate this and improve it to the next level,\u009d he said.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0153Currently, IIUM has been acknowledged as one of the best debate universities globally. Not to mention the IIUM alumni who have become great politicians and debaters,\u009d he added.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Asyraf Hakimi aspires to make \u02dcpolitical debate as the culture or an ongoing practice among all IIUM students. The culture that portrays clean, mature and valuable politics.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from that, he also unveils his other manifesto which is the centralisation of internship data for easy access to information.
