Luqman Hakim Md Zim

Luqman Hakim Md Zim is the visionary leader behind Kelab Belia Prihatin Malaysia, a dynamic youth-driven organization with 12,658 active members nationwide. Committed to environmental stewardship and sustainable living, the organisation has achieved remarkable milestones through its We Be-Leaf Together environmental campaign, fostering eco-conscious communities across Malaysia.

Under Luqman’s leadership, the club has undertaken transformative initiatives, including the planting of over 10,000 mangrove trees and the removal of 30 tonnes of waste from rivers nationwide. These actions exemplify their dedication to addressing critical environmental challenges and empowering youth as agents of change.

In addition to his work with Kelab Belia Prihatin, Luqman founded the Youth Sustainability Forum, an annual youth-led platform that unites young leaders from across ASEAN. This forum enables meaningful discussions and collaborative solutions to pressing environmental issues, paving the way for a sustainable future.

The organisation has partnered with prominent entities like Iskandar Investment Berhad, Microsoft, and WWF Malaysia, blending innovative solutions with grassroots activism. In recognition of its impact, WWF Malaysia named the club the Eco-Champion of 2022, highlighting its vital role in advancing Malaysia’s sustainability agenda.

Approaching its 5th anniversary next year, Kelab Belia Prihatin Malaysia celebrates five years of inspiring youth leadership and driving sustainability initiatives across the region.

Making an impact means creating meaningful and lasting change that improves lives, communities, or the environment. It involves using your skills, resources, and passion to address pressing issues and inspire others to do the same. For me, it’s about leaving a legacy of positive transformation that resonates beyond individual efforts.
