This year we will be joined by King’s alum, Dr Haniff Abdullah. Dr Haniff was awarded the prestigious Chevening Scholarship and completed his postgraduate studies in War & Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neurosciences, King’s College London, in 2017. He was awarded an Associateship of King’s College in 2020.
Dr Haniff is a clinician in Psychiatry & Mental Health with the Ministry of Health, Malaysia. He is actively involved in action plans and ground humanitarian work with local and international communities. Dr Haniff is the current President of the International Association for Disaster Mental Health (IDiMH). He also led the Mental Health & Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) in a tertiary hospital during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Currently, he is leading a national-level project on a digital mental health intervention focusing on first responders’ mental health. Service for him means the ability to touch other people’s lives. He holds close to the principle to grow is to give back.
Dipti Kumar will also join us as the moderator of the discussion. Dipti is a sustainability advocate who is passionate about driving footprint-neutral policies and businesses within macro and micro ecosystems. She is an alumnus of the prestigious Khazanah scholarship, read law at King's (LLB and LLM) and was the top lawyer in International Financial Law at King's.

MCII works on improving literacy in Malaysia and influencing policy change through a data driven and community-led approach. As an advisor to the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family through the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Trust, she advised on sustainability and social impact investment across Commonwealth countries and served on a panel to develop the Queen's Young Leaders programme. She was also a United Nations Youth representative and led the UN Changemakers in Geneva - an inclusive global policy movement.
