Popis: A progressive, knowledge-based society allows young people the right and freedom to express their important thoughts, notably in the realm of political leadership. The essence of educating students who are knowledgeable and able to think critically and creatively is academic freedom. This study's primary purpose is to argue the credibility of student leadership in strengthening youth voices, which is a reform for Malaysia's progressive society. This research utilizes the document analysis technique by referencing prior research on the credibility of student leadership in empowering youth voices. In the framework of recognising the youth's voice as one of the platforms for developing a progressive society like Malaysia, previous recommendations and findings will be examined and integrated. The following four major issues are discussed: (1) The Credibility of Student Leadership in Empowering the Voice of Youth as Drivers of a Progressive Society, (2) The Relevance of the University and University College Act 1971 (AUKU 1971) in Representing Student Rights, (3) The Rationale for Reforming the National Constitutional System in Implementation of Vote 18, and (4) Creating Guarantees of Freedom of Expression for Trust Transparency and Youth Responsibility. According to the study's findings, it is critical for the country to recognise the role of students in raising people's issues, because students are the driving force behind a civilised society, the generators of a great and quality generation of people, and the keepers of the country's harmony and prosperity. The purpose of this research is to focus on traditional political discussions such as elections, youth involvement, and voting 18, where empirical studies are not limited to the interests of political parties alone and can assist the government in developing appropriate strategies to have a positive impact on all parties.
