About Us

UKECatalyst Office 2024/2025

CEKU is the editorial arm of UKEC. We are a team of passionate student writers from the Catalyst Office, committed to promoting the values of democracy, free speech, justice and holism. 

Our articles are written to be informative, persuasive and analytical in nature. We believe in the power of the pen, and that by encouraging participation in intellectual discourse, the collective wisdom of our dreams of a better nation will lead Malaysia to the right path of sustainable progress.

While still being part of UKEC, our writers operate at an arm’s length from UKEC itself. This gives them the freedom and independence to pursue any articles they deem important without fear of influence from any organisations. As such, the opinions offered on this platform are not an indication of UKEC’s position on a particular topic. We are merely the vessel that carries the voices and opinions of the Malaysian Student Community.
