A Splendid Night at the Malam Kebudayaan Melayu!

The tremendous turned-up of audience and supporters at the event hall

So, what happened after the MCS Fun Run event, organized by the KDU Malay Cultural Society? Was there a follow up? Yes, there was! The annual Malam Kebudayaan Melayu (MKM) took over the attention as the funds collected from the Fun Run and the MKM night was contributed towards the Shelter Home for Children. So, how much did both events raised? A whooping sum of RM 10,000 was raised and contributed towards the home. Kudos! 

The MKM night took place at our usual hotspot, the KDU UC's Auditorium. The night saw a beautiful set-up of  decorations, including the hand-made "Bahtera" by students. Bahtera also means, ship. The event was a successful one, organized by the KDU Malay Cultural Society as well as the School of Pre-University Studies department. This time around, the theme for the MKM night was "Bahtera- Melayari Lautan Budaya". Another deeper meaning of sailing through the ocean of rich culture.

The Hook-Up with Irene Ang!

Irene Ang in action!

Does the name Rosie Phua rings a bell to your head? If yes, you would have probably watched Singapore’s longest running sitcom comedy, “Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd” and subsequently “Phua Chu Kang Sdn. Bhd”. Irene Ang (a.k.a Rosie Phua) plays as Phua Chu Kang’s (Gurmit Singh) wife in the sitcom series.

Star Spangled Carnival 2012!

Admittedly, we missed celebrating the 4^th of July on the 4^th of July due to a scheduling conflict. But that didn’t mean we didn’t have a great time celebrating the occasion, a few days late. And while it was definitely less than practical to be hosting a barbecue indoors, we decided to go a somewhat different route: We hosted the Star Spangled Carnival in our DJ campus on the 6^th of July. 

Suffice to say that we made sure it was a star studded event. At 10:00 am, Vice Chancellor Dr. Tan Hui Ling kicked off the event with a ribbon cutting ceremony. There was plenty to do at the carnival with a wide variety of games to play. Winners would collect points at each booth that could be exchanged for prizes which included the ever famous “Beatz” headphones by Dr. Dre. 

Within the Frame!

One, two, snap! To some, a picture paints a thousand words, to some, photography is life, to some, it is merely just pictures. Last month, photography enthusiasts gathered for the Photolympics challenge, held at KDU University College, Damansara Jaya campus on 15th June 2012, organized by UNICOM and Lights@KDU. The best part is, the competition was open to public! The two themes were "Still life" and 

"People at Work". So, who won? A "Within the Frame Photo Exhibition" happened on the 9th July 2012 at KDU University College, Damansara Jaya campus to determined the Photolympics winners as well as displaying chosen creative artworks.
