GREETINGS Hey AIESECers! It’s our pleasure to announce that Penang, Malaysia will be proudly hosting the Asia Pacific Leaders Summit (APLS), once again after 2014. Asia Pacific Leaders Summit 2017 serves as a platform for leadership development, and most importantly, provides space to unite diverse aspects of the entire Asia Pacific region that you would rarely see in any conference. We are so excited to welcome you as our guests and have you experience everything that the Pearl of the Orient has to offer. The conference committees will strive in ensuring everyone has a memorable and meaningful time here.
APLS 2017 would not be complete without you.

Religion While Islam is established as the “religion of the Federation”, Malaysia’s constitution grants freedom of religion. Our beliefs range from Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism to Confucianism and Taoism.
Language With such diverse environment in Malaysia, it is not difficult to find a person who is trilingual. With Bahasa Melayu as the national language, most of us speak English as well while Mandarin and Tamil are practiced by Chinese and Indians respectively. Native languages are also used among native people.

About Penang Introduction Pulau Pinang, or simply called Penang, is one of the northern states in Malaysia, consisting of the Penang Island and the Seberang Perai districts located on mainland. Also known as ‘The Pearl of the Orient�, our modern history began in 1786 when Francis Light from the British East India Company founded our capital city, Georgetown as a trading post.
Today, with a population of over 1.8million, Georgetown holds two-third of the total population on the Penang Island. Since 2008, Georgetown is recognized by UNESCO as one of the World Heritage Site, and life at Penang has flourished ever since. From modern day culture to colonial era essence, you can find it all in Penang. But what makes Penangites proudest is undoubtedly our food. We serve award winning street foods from a huge variety of culture origins, even a random food stall beside the road might tingle your taste buds like never before.

THEME MALAYSIA IS MADE UP of a multiracial community. To progress towards the country’s future development, unity among the people is the key to success. However, before the focus moves towards unity, people in the country coming from all walks of life, from different races and background, should have at least a mutual understanding towards each other’s culture. Interestingly, all of the cultures blends well just as perfect as a dish called Rojak. Finally, people in the country come together as one, despite their difference in background, and culture. All in all, Malaysians did it, simply because we embrace diversity.
