‘KONGSI REZEKI’ PROGRAMME FOSTERS CAMPUS UNITY AT USM ENGINEERING CAMPUS

NIBONG TEBAL, 13 June 2025 – The spirit of togetherness and compassion among the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Engineering Campus community was further strengthened through the successful organisation of the “Kongsi Rezeki Bersama: Sentuhan Ukhuwah Pusat Islam” programme, held recently at Kafe Lembaran.

Jointly organised by the Student Representative Council (MPP), Islamic Student Association (PMI) and Sustainable Student Programme Mentors (PPSL), the event drew enthusiastic student participation, beginning with a gotong-royong (communal effort) to prepare bubur lambuk, a traditional porridge dish.

The event continued in the afternoon with the packing and distribution of bubur lambuk to members of the campus community, symbolising the spirit of sharing and promoting solidarity and goodwill among the USM family.

Harraz Hazreeq Mohd Hairil Nizam, Deputy Director of the programme, said the initiative not only nurtured noble values among students but also served as a platform to foster stronger ties among various campus stakeholders.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Nuraiman Mohd Yusrino, MPP representative from the School of Civil Engineering, noted that the programme was proof that even a modest initiative could leave a significant impact in shaping a caring and harmonious campus community.

“This programme is a prime example of how a simple effort can spark meaningful change in building a supportive campus environment,” he said.

He added that the programme also aligned with the university’s aspirations to develop students with holistic character through values-based, volunteerism and leadership-driven approaches.

Also present at the event were Professor Ir. Dr. Fadzli Mohamed Nazri, Dean of the School of Civil Engineering, who represented the Director of the Engineering Campus, Ustaz Nukman Ahmad Zakir, Deputy Director of the Campus Islamic Centre, and Puan Norzita Nanyan, representing the Division of Student Affairs and Development (BHEPA).
