GOMBAK, MAY 27, 2022: Ahmed Lutfi, the candidate for IIUM Student Union (IIUMSU), has unveiled his manifesto, which is motivated by the desire to see the union achieve financial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bachelor of Sociology and Anthropology fourth year first semester student explained that he wants to fully utilise his platform to find funding and scholarships for the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lutfi emphasises that his goal is for the union to be financially self-sufficient. The vision, on the other hand, is to provide business opportunities for all IIUM students in order for them to develop a business mindset and “become our own leader in earning our own income,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lutfi stated that his\nexperience as a member of the IIUM Student Union during his last tenure under\nthe Office of the President, as well as being a member of the IRKHS Student\nSociety for two tenures, has provided him the conviction to be a member of the\nOffice of Entrepreneurship and Corporate Relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of Lutfis manifestos are further elaborated below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have financial stability so IIUM Student Unions financial status keeps on improving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The union has always\nstruggled to be financially self-sufficient. As a result, we must focus more on\nforming collaborations; by doing so, the union will maintain a connection with\nthe outside world. As a result, with a connection, funds and scholarships are\neasily accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To provide business opportunities for the people of IIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prior tenure of Student Union sold products, and it is hoped that we can increase sales by expanding the product line. We would also like to provide a larger platform for IIUM students to promote their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about his\nfeelings about winning uncontested, Lutfi stated, “Many seats are won\nuncontested, including my seat. However, even if it is defined and\nperceived as an easy win, we must still achieve the goal of increasing the\nfinancial status of the IIUM Student Union.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good leader, in\nLutfi’s opinion, is rare, and leadership is one of the best skills for\nunderstanding people. The prophet, for example, is an example of good\nleadership because he knows how to approach and understand the people. Leaders\nshould also bring people together so that he\/she can keep them\nunited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before completing the interview, Lutfi was asked about his thoughts on male dominance in society. He responded that there is a lot of male dominance in which men are taking over offices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then added, ” In my opinion, both men and women are needed in an organisation, and at IIUM, both men and women are motivated to become leaders. As can be seen, many women are running in elections; for example, we have a woman running for the presidency.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
