2 September 2026, TAR UMT Perak - Beyond Borders: Identifying Global Opportunities & Entering International Markets 

The Faculty of Accountancy, Finance and Business, TAR UMT Perak Branch, proudly hosted an insightful Academic Guest Lecture titled "Beyond Borders: Identifying Global Opportunities & Entering International Markets"! 

We were truly honoured to welcome Dr. Faiz Masnan, Senior Lecturer from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and Coordinator of Industry Networking and Quality Management, who generously shared his expertise with our International Business students! 

Throughout the session, Dr. Faiz took international business learning beyond the textbook — diving into global market opportunity assessment, exporting, and global sourcing, all backed by real-world examples and practical insights into how businesses successfully navigate opportunities across borders.

This interactive session gave students valuable exposure to real-world perspectives, while deepening their understanding of international market strategies and global business thinking!

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Faiz Masnan for travelling all the way from UniMAP, Perlis to TAR UMT Perak Branch, and for generously sharing his knowledge and experience with our students!

We look forward to more meaningful academic exchanges and collaborative opportunities between TAR UMT and UniMAP in the future!

On 3 September 2026, we had the opportunity to visit Prince of Songkhla University (PSU), Hat Yai Campus. We received a warm welcome from the university officers and staff. The programme began with a welcoming address by Asst. Prof. Dr Pornpawee Pumkerd, Director of the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Cultural Studies. Her welcoming remarks gave us a better understanding of the university's efforts in preserving and promoting Thai cultural heritage. 

During our visit, we had the opportunity to explore the art gallery and learn about the history and traditional production of batik and songket in Thailand. We gained valuable knowledge about Thai traditional textiles, their techniques, and their cultural significance. We also participated in a bead embroidery activity, where we created our own small pieces that could be made into keychains. It was an enjoyable hands-on experience, and we were able to bring our handmade keychains home as souvenirs.

Overall, our visit to PSU Hat Yai Campus was a memorable and enriching experience. We learned more about Thai culture, traditional arts, and craftsmanship while enjoying the warm hospitality of the PSU community. We would like to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the Prince of Songkhla University, Hat Yai Campus, especially the officers and staff, for their warm welcome and kindness. This visit will certainly remain one of the highlights of our trip.
