22 May 2023 – Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Kuala Lumpur hosted a community service program aimed at giving students from Jalinan Kasih Guidance School (SBJK) in Chow Kit a chance to experience the daily life of university students. SBJK students face financial hardships, do not own identity cards and lack shelter. Through various activities, this program aims to spark SBJK students’ curiosity in seeking knowledge and expose them to the realities of university life. Ultimately, the hope is that this will inspire these students to cultivate a deeper interest in learning.
