Students from Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) and Universitas Pakuan (UNPAK) came together for a memorable bonding experience through a hiking expedition to Bukit Lambak, Kluang. This adventure provided a unique opportunity for students to connect with nature, foster friendships, enhance teamwork, and develop a tightly-knit community among the participants from both universities. In the afternoon, it marked the first meeting with Prof. Talib Bin Bon, and lunch at the café was an enriching and pleasant experience.

We were guided by UTHM students to visit the largest library in South East Asia, called "Perpustakaan Tunku Tun Aminah," since May 2010. Our visit to the Tunku Tun Aminah Library was a delightful and enriching experience. UTHM has opened a branch library which is situated at the town campus. For now, Tunku Tun Aminah Library is a 5-storey building with a floor area of 16,000 square meters. It is so big that it could accommodate at least 3,000 users. Besides that, this library can fill as many as 300,000 volumes. As for now, UTHM library holds more than 182,000 copies of reference books in various fields, 8,000 titles of thesis, 150 titles of printed journals, 180 titles of electronic journals, 40 titles of magazines, and 22,000 copies of audio-visual materials.
Navigating through the well-organized sections, we discovered a treasure trove of information that ranged from classic literature to cutting-edge research. The library's commitment to digital resources was evident, with computer terminals and online databases providing a contemporary touch to traditional scholarship. The ambiance of the Tunku Tun Aminah Library facilitated a conducive atmosphere for studying, research, and collaborative learning. Comfortable reading nooks, study pods, and group discussion areas offered flexibility for individuals and groups to engage in academic pursuits.
The dedicated library staff added to the positive experience, offering assistance with resource location and providing valuable insights into the library's extensive collection. Their commitment to supporting the academic journey of visitors enhanced the overall visit, making it not just a stop for information but a place of intellectual growth and exploration.
Before we went to Azhar Food Industry visit, we had lunch with a student from UTHM and Prof. Talib, which was a valuable extension of the educational journey. It blurred the lines between the roles of teacher and student, creating an environment where knowledge could be exchanged freely, and the mentor-student relationship could evolve into a partnership of mutual growth and understanding.
Next, we visited Azhar Food Supplier, a local business located in Batu Pahat. Azhar Food Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. is a company that produces various types of snacks. This company was established in 2000 under the private name of Azhar bin Rasnan. The vision of this company is to introduce its products more widely. The company's mission is to expand the product market throughout the country and abroad.
The objective of this company is to respond to the Prime Minister's call, develop capital as a center of attraction and sales crops, meet the high demand in the agricultural structure, and obtain crop production at the necessary time to avoid wasteful or inadequate products. In 2005, this company was registered under the name Azhar Food Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., marking the continuity between Azhar Food and manufacturing. The company's factory attracts public attention due to its strategic location along the main road of Rengit, Batu Pahat, Johor.
In 2011, the company expanded its branch in Bandar Baru Uda, Johor Bahru, which also attracted the attention of local residents. By 2014, Azhar Food began exporting products such as salted potato chips, BBQ chips, and curry potato chips to Yorker Supermarket in Taiwan, marking Taiwan as the first foreign country to receive products from Azhar Food Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd.
Azhar Food Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. employs a functional organization structure, meaning that work is grouped according to respective functions for efficiency in organizing employees with similar expertise and skills. This coordination within functional areas enhances operational effectiveness.
In the evening, we enjoyed our last dinner together, uniting students from UNPAK (Universitas Pakuan) and UTHM (Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia). It was a remarkable celebration of friendship, cultural exchange, and shared experiences. The ambiance was charged with vibrant energy as this diverse group of students gathered for an evening of connection.

We were visiting Multimedia University; our trip to the Faculty of Business at Multimedia University (MMU) in Malaysia was a great innovation for collaboration between UNPAK (Universitas Pakuan) lecturers and students. The purposeful meeting, initially aimed at exploring academic exchange opportunities, evolved into an exciting plan for beneficial lectures.
The result of this visit was a well-thought-out plan for a lecture exchange program. UNPAK and MMU lecturers would share their expertise, enriching the academic experience for students on both sides. This collaboration aimed to create a two-way flow of knowledge and ideas. The atmosphere during our visit was filled with enthusiasm and a shared commitment to educational excellence. The potential collaboration between UNPAK and MMU opened doors to a new era of international cooperation, promising mutual growth and understanding among academic communities.
Our visit to the Faculty of Business (FOB) at MMU yielded remarkable results, notably securing the 3rd International Student Engagement and Exchange Program (ISeEP). The journey began with an exploration of collaborative opportunities and culminated in an achievement that showcased the strength of our partnership.
Leaving MMU, we carried the spirit of collaboration with us, excited about the future possibilities this partnership held. The exchange of beneficial lectures showcased the power of connecting minds globally, laying the foundation for a dynamic and enriching academic relationship between UNPAK and MMU. The chance to engage in discussions with students from the Faculty of Business (FOB) at MMU and Dr. Ariel King was a truly enriching experience. The setting was dynamic, with an atmosphere buzzing with intellectual curiosity and a shared passion for business-related topics.

Our visit to Prince of Songkhla University in Thailand, as we explored the campus, we were immersed in a blend of modern infrastructure and traditional Thai architectural charm. The university's commitment to fostering a dynamic learning environment was evident in its state-of-the-art facilities and a diverse range of academic disciplines. Engaging with students and faculty at Prince of Songkhla University provided a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and intellectual exploration.
One of the must-do things on visiting Thailand is temples. It is a country rich in history and culture, and its temples, or "wats. These sacred spaces are places of worship and also serve as important cultural and architectural landmarks. Visitors to Thailand can expect to find various temples with unique styles and histories.
Next is our cultural journey to Thailand's Temple Municipal Park, where tradition and tranquility converge in a harmonious embrace. Nestled amidst lush landscapes, this enchanting park serves as a gateway to the rich tapestry of Thai heritage. Located 7km northeast of Hat Yai, this huge, green oasis of hilly, landscaped gardens is home to several stunning temples, an observatory, southern Thailand's tallest Golden Buddha, a boating lake - complete with artificial waterfall - cafes and food stalls, and a network of cycling routes. Spending a day breathing in the fresh air, exploring the temples, riding the cable car and taking in the spectacular views is a great escape from the often stifling atmosphere of Hat Yai.
