Twenty-three international students from LIfE Melaka and Cyberjaya campuses, accompanied by five lecturers, embarked on a captivating educational journey on 30 September 2023. The day began early in Melaka, leading the participants to the heart of Selangor. Their first stop was the Paddy Gallery in Sekinchan, where they immersed themselves in the intricate art of rice cultivation, a cornerstone of Malaysia’s cultural heritage.
After a hearty lunch and a serene prayer break at the Raja Lumu Mosque in Kuala Selangor, the group proceeded to their final destination, the historic site of Bukit Melawati. Surrounded by natural beauty, students explored the hill’s rich historical legacy, deepening their connection to the region’s past. This collaborative initiative aimed to foster cultural understanding among the international student community, offering an opportunity for participants to appreciate the lush paddy fields, delve into the antique gallery and experience nature atop Bukit Melawati.
The trip resonated profoundly with the participants, leaving an indelible mark on their cultural awareness. The camaraderie between students and lecturers, combined with the educational experiences, made the excursion an invaluable and unforgettable adventure.
