World Philosophy Day Malaysia 2026 / Our Speakers

Voices Carrying a Testament

Philosophy has always advanced through the people willing to think in public — to question, to challenge, and to imagine what comes next. World Philosophy Day 2026 Malaysia brings together a rare gathering of such voices: philosophers, jurists, Quranic scholars, civilisational thinkers and international delegates from the World Philosophical Forum, united for three days of dialogue in Kuala Lumpur.

At the heart of this gathering is the Wasiat Pemimpin Melayu — the Testament of Malay Leaders — a conversation about the knowledge, dignity and direction a generation chooses to pass on. Our speakers approach this testament from different disciplines and different corners of the world, yet share a single conviction: that ideas, examined honestly, are how a people decides who it will become.
