KDU Shows Swiss Guests the 'Malaysia, Truly Asia' Hospitality

Malaysia, Truly Asia. 

A statement that resonates so true, as the students of St Gallen University (HSG), Switzerland, discovered during their visit to KDU last Friday. 

The group comprised of 21 St Gallen students together with Professor Dr. h.c Klaus Spremann, his assistant Roman Frick and 2 students from the Singapore Management Institute (SMU), where the Swiss students are currently undergoing a 3-month exchange semester programme under the HSG Asia Term, an initiative headed by Prof. Spremann. 

HSG was founded originally as a business academy and today, is one of Europe's leading business school. The university aims at giving students the opportunity to profit from an ideal mix of research and practical experience, and hence, its collaboration with SMU on the exchange programme. 

The students visited Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in an effort to learn more about the economic, political, cultural, religious and academic environment here, and this study trip is the only one that they embarked on throughout their semester at SMU and as such, KDU was more than honoured to host them for their only education institution stop. 

Do your bit for charity and join our students at the NEWSTART Charity Bazaar!

Our Diploma in Business Administration and Diploma in Accountancy students will be embarking on a community service project where they will be working hand-in-hand with three non-profit organizations, namely Beautiful Gate (foundation for the disabled), Multi-Mutual Charity Association (foundation for single-parent children) and Hospis Malaysia (foundation for terminally ill patients).

As part of the project, they will be helping in the upcoming NEWSTART CHARITY BAZAAR by selling coupons (RM20 per coupon) and also participating on the actual day.

The NEWSTART CHARITY BAZAAR, organized by the Adventist Community Service (ACS), focuses on living a healthy lifestyle and eating nutritious food. With a myriad of food stalls, games, blood donation drive, a mini zoo, colouring contests and such, there's bound to be something for everyone!
