Profile of SejutaCita Future Leaders as Founder Faces Harassment Allegations
SejutaCita Future Leaders (SFL), a youth leadership programme, has become the focus of public attention after several SFL programme participants raised allegations of harassment allegedly committed by SFL founder (initials AS) during mentoring activities.
The issue emerged through a social media post on Instagram from @matchagreen1001 and sparked considerable public attention. The programme, previously known as an international leadership trip, is now under scrutiny. Below is a profile of SFL and the background to the controversy.
The programme is structured as an international leadership or educational trip lasting approximately five days and four nights abroad. SFL is designed to help participants develop leadership skills, broaden their global perspective, and prepare for future studies or careers.
Activities within the programme typically include leadership workshops, visits to educational institutions, networking sessions, and cultural immersion experiences.
The programme is open to young people aged approximately 13–35 years through a selection process. In several editions, SFL has offered fully funded schemes, additional scholarships, certificates, and access to an alumni network claimed to enhance participants’ portfolios.
One publicised edition was SFL Chapter 12: Japan 2025, an educational trip to Japan featuring leadership activities and university campus visits.
In the social media post, the identity of the alleged victim was concealed. The post documented the experience of a participant in an SFL trip to Beijing and Shanghai. Beyond complaints about technical issues such as flight arrangements, itinerary changes, unclear meal provisions, and a bullet train incident involving four hours of standing, the primary focus was on the mentoring sessions.
The founder (initials AS) is alleged to have made inappropriate statements, including comments about physical appearance, religious headscarves (hijab), sexual relationships, and sexually suggestive jokes.
