The political fight of the younger generation in Malaysia has evolved since the country achieved independence on 31st August 1957. For the past 10 years, legal literacy and students’ participation in the campus of the political landscape has given birth to an enthusiastic young generation with high leadership charisma, especially in developing countries such as Malaysia. The two main objectives of this study are, namely (i) to unravel the interpretation of positive values, spirit, and identity, when students are exposed to the ability to increase independence in the context of campus political participation, and (ii) examines the continued success contribution of big-hearted and high-charismatic students of leadership in the political development aspects of the country at the present time. The research modus operandi was implemented by utilising qualitative methods of in-depth interviews with 24 students from legal studies programs from four Malaysian Public Universities. The results of the study were through a selection of interviews of respondents which found that the pattern of students’ participation in the campus political landscape, if outlined with certain objectives, successfully serves as a medium to voice wishes and concerns on issues related to the community in higher institutions. However, the involvement in the political arena by students is subjected to the bill which has been enshrined in the Universities and University Colleges Acts 1971 (AUKU 1971), the Private Higher Education Institutions Act 1996, and the Educational Institutions (Discipline) Acts 1976. Two new findings were presented, namely (i) the political freedom given to students in this country should be utilised well, especially in producing enthusiastic young people, and (ii) political freedom is seen to be able to help shape aspects of leadership, especially at the university level and those who are charismatic and credible can drive the formation of the country in a better direction regardless of political, economic and social.
