Activities 

Date: 1–3 August 2025

Venue: Pusat Latihan Kenegaraan, Ulu Kenas, Perak

Six students from TAR UMT Perak Branch attended the Kursus Kenegaraan Malaysia Madani & Pemantapan Kepimpinan organized by Akademi Kenegaraan Malaysia and Majlis Belia India Malaysia (MIYC).

The programme aimed to develop young leaders with a strong patriotic spirit and understanding of Rukun Negara. Selected participants were Indian students and children of Perak origin.

The students actively participated in various leadership and nation-building activities, gaining valuable knowledge and experience.

From 08 - 10 August, our Bachelor of Tourism Management (Event Management) students and lecturer recently embraced a wonderful opportunity to explore the beauty and culture of Melaka. 

The adventure began at Encore Melaka – an architectural and artistic gem known for its spectacular 360-degree rotating theatre and world-class performances. Guided by Mr.Benjamin, students enjoyed an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, where they learned about current trends in the event industry and how innovation continues to shape audience engagement. They also discovered how to enhance the visitor experience—from the stage design to guest flow. This eye-opening experience gave them valuable insights into the level of planning and precision required to deliver unforgettable events. 

The trip continued with a meaningful CSR activity at the Reptile and Butterfly Sanctuary. Students deepened their understanding of nature’s delicate balance, discovering the fascinating lives of diverse flora and fauna. They also took a hands-on role in protecting the Common Birdwing butterfly by planting host plants that will provide both shelter and food for this beautiful species.

It was truly a day where education met responsibility—nurturing not only knowledge in events and tourism but also the heart to care for our environment.
