Awareness and resilience: Preparing Malaysian youth for life abroad


SEPTEMBER marked the start of the 2025 academic year for many universities worldwide, particularly in Europe and North America, making it a period when many Malaysian students depart to begin their studies abroad.

For these young Malaysians, this moment represents the beginning of an important new chapter. As part of their preparation, scholarship awarders typically organise pre-departure activities, ranging from alumni engagement sessions to practical advice on adapting to life abroad. Recently, the South-East Asia Regional Centre for Counter-Terrorism (SEARCCT) had the opportunity to contribute to these activities by delivering briefings focused on evolving security challenges and the importance of building resilience in the digital space.
