Organising Chairperson Ira Meilita Binti Ibrahim said, “This is the first time Department of General Studies was involved in organising such a meaningful event in campus. It is such a great honour to all of us, especially during the Patriotism Month (Bulan Patriotisme). We hope to celebrate the 59th National Day and promote patriotism among all UTARians. It is not easy to organise an event like this especially when engaging with government agencies. Luckily we received big support from the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia’s Department of Information. Besides that, we feel proud that so many students were interested about patriotism and participated in this event.”

“We aim to provide as much information as we can in regards to government policies, the Tenth Malaysian Plan (10^th MP) and the current issues related to students’ curriculum. We hope that such events will not only benefit the students, but also the public”, said Department of Information Production Assistant Gomadi.

The highlight of the exhibition was a collection of informative posters showcasing the history of Malaysia. Students also participated in some exciting games and won many goody bags and prizes.
