| Summary: | Malaysia's progress depends on the effectiveness of leaders in maintaining unity based on the
principles of Rukun Negara and upholding the existing law. The development of
democratization education is extremely important to ensure the well-being of our beloved
Malaysia. This process must take place perfectly for the well-being of Malaysian citizens
towards continuing to lift the country's progress in the future. Students are the front line of
the country on their shoulders carrying the trust of leadership and the future of the country.
They play an important role as future leaders and need to have a high level of understanding
and appreciation of democratization and duty as Malaysians. Specifically, this research
examines the impact of student leadership on the democratization of education in Malaysian
public universities. The student leadership questionnaire developed by Kouzes & Posner in
2007 and the democratized education questionnaire developed by Evans & Rose in 2007
adopted a cross-sectional survey method in the data collection process. A total of 326 student
leaders of Peninsular Malaysia Public University participated as the study’s Respondents.
Student leadership has also had a 39.6% impact on democratized education. This research can
be used by national leaders, university administrations, and the Ministry of Education as a
guide for assessing the leadership of future national leaders. It can be used as a basic
reference to improve various knowledge of leadership management based on democratization
education as the basis for the formation of the identity of Malaysian leaders. |
