The Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) proudly hosted the Undergraduate 5 Minutes Presentation (5MP) Competition 2025 on 7 May 2025 at UTAR Sungai Long Campus, showcasing the public speaking and research presentation skills of its undergraduate students. The event saw enthusiastic participation from students and strong support from faculty members and distinguished guests.
