Every activity we engaged in, from picking up new technical knowledge to travelling across Terengganu and Malaysia, helped us to develop both our skill sets and personalities.”
The learners took the chance to let their talent shine through a performance during the event.

This is necessary so that our learners can grow in the best environment.”
