"Our UTAR Choir visited ITC while they were in Japan and we were very honored for their warm hospitality. We learnt so much during the exchanges and understood the Japanese culture so much better. We hope you will learn just as much and enjoy the day in UTAR," said Loh in her welcome speech.

"I visited Malaysia twice and I liked it. The food is affordable and the people are nice, "said Takahashi Shion, the student representative of ITC before the souvenir presentation session.

Several performances were carried out by UTAR Choir, Wushu Club, Kuala Lumpur Campus Dance Club and Petaling Jaya Campus Dance Club. ITC students joined the comradeship with a game where all students were divided into eight groups to take a most creative photo.
