Abstract

On April 25 and 26, 2026, a leadership camp was organized for the diasporic Myanmar Muslim community living in Bangkok. The camp was jointly organized by the International Institute of Islamic Thought for East and Southeast Asia (IIIT ESEA) and the International Islamic College of Bangkok at KRIRK University. The two-day program was held at Al Meroz, a reputed hotel for its Islamic ambience and hospitality, which is situated amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok city. The central theme of the camp revolved around education and leadership. The camp's welcoming speech was delivered by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Maulana Akbar Shah, who served as the representative of IIIT Myanmar as well as the director of the camp. During his address, Dr. Maulana elaborated on the main objectives of the program. In concluding his speech, he presented a video that candidly captured the various intellectual activities organized by IIIT over the years for Myanmar citizens living in Malaysia and Thailand. In addition, Dr. Maulana also conducted a workshop session under the title, ‘The Vanguard of Awakening: Integrating Prophetic Ethics and Modern Science for National Resilience.’
