17 August 2010. Each year the Indonesian students’ society of UCTI celebrates their Independence Day among more than 70 different nationals studying in UCTI. This year’s celebration takes place in the foyer with an opening remark from Datuk. Prof. Mohamad Yusof bin Kasim as vice chancellor of UCTI who showed his appreciation to the Indonesian society of UCTI which consistently preserve their nationalism and show their cultures among the multicultural society in UCTI.
Present at the ceremony Datuk. Prof. Mohamad Yusof bin Kasim as vice chancellor of UCTI, managers of UCTI, lecturers, student representatives and more than 200 Indonesian students studying in UCTI.
The event started with a flag raising ceremony, commemoration of the fallen heroes and singing national songs which is part of the annual ceremony for all Indonesians around the world in celebrating the Independence Day.
Veronica Joy Sulaiman as the adviser of the Indonesian Students Society of UCTI in her mandate for this Independence day celebration urge all Indonesian students to study hard, be creative and innovative in the globalization era and shine as a global citizen contributing to make the world a better place.
Miss Veronica which is also a lecturer in the school of business also shares an Indonesian philosophy “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” which means unity in diversity. As a heterogenic campus consisting of students from many countries around the world, UCTI must always unite to achieve our common goal which is becoming an award winning university. No matter where you come from, your race, religion or social status we are all under the umbrella of UCTI.
This event coincide with the Ramadan month for the Muslims, hence a fast breaking together was held to celebrate the both the fasting month and our unity in UCTI.
