APU Sustainable Future Fusion (APU SFF) is a leading student-led sustainability club at the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU), Malaysia, committed to creating a meaningful impact through innovation, community engagement, and environmental action. Formerly known as ISUC (Integrated Sustainable Urban and Creative), the club was rebranded as SFF to reflect its evolving mission of merging sustainability values with technology, creativity, and real-world solutions.

Founded by Khoo Lay Yang, a passionate changemaker from the School of Technology, APU SFF is supported by dedicated advisors Ms. Cynthia Mala Paul Dorairaj and Ir. Jacqueline Lukose, whose mentorship and experience help shape the club’s strategic direction and outreach programs.

Whether it's addressing climate change, reducing food waste, promoting inclusive education, or empowering vulnerable communities, APU SFF is building a future where students are not only learners but also leaders of sustainability.
