“France. France? FRANCE!!!” Startled, first-time-delegate Sharifah Amirah Al Idrus puts her doodling away and yells “present” to the president. Little did this delegate know that soon she would become a president herself.
Starting from her initial MUN experience in 2004, this year’s Security Council President has a long history: she has been involved as a delegate in several conferences in Kuala Lumpar, her hometown, as well as several MYMUN’s, two THIMUN’s, and a KLASS Mini-MUN at school, which helped her realize her passion for Model United Nations. Al Idrus’ first chairing experience was at KLASS Mini-MUN 2007, which she continued to co-organize and chair after the school’s directors left. Outside of school, Al Idrus chaired at MYMUN and SGMUN, and more recently, she has been appointed as the president of the SC at THIMUN Singapore, and President of Disarmament at THIMUN. The motivation behind all these dazzling records? Al Idrus answers, “Interest keeps you motivated. MUN is one of those things you can learn to be good at. [Above] all, try to have the most fun possible!”
An avid reader, a gifted artist, and a brown belt in Taekwondo, this bubbly president has numerous talents even outside of the conference room. Her advice to this year’s newbies? “Remember that it's not just what you say but how you say it. And don't be afraid of making mistakes. Making mistakes is how you get better.”
