GOMBAK, 9 March 2016: With the objective of  creating œUnity in diversity, a Cultural Integration Night held tonight at Moot Court, Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Law (AIKOL), was a success.
This programme was organised by Student Representative Council (SRC) in collaboration with Ummol Qurah Society of IIUM.
The event was officiated by Deputy Rector (Student Affairs), Dr. Datuk Mizan Hitam, accompanied by Asst. Prof Dr. Ismail, former Dean of AIKOL.
œThis is the real practice of cultural diversity in IIUM and it is very rare to gather 60% local and 40% international on a programme like today. I want to thank all the committee members who made this event successful, said Dr. Mizan.
There were performances by CITRA, Indonesian Society, Ummul Qurah and Yemeni Club. Three international students made the event by singing special Malay songs, Indonesian songs and the live IIUM song.
More than 50 committee members were divided into six different bureaus including Public Relations, Preparation and Technical, Promotion, Multimedia, Catering and Special Task.
It took them two months to make this night fruitful. All committees worked hard on internet, social media and did flash mobs, road shows to invite all IIUM community.
Programme Manager, Mohammad Ziaolhaq said: “We were trying to change the percentage of audiences among local and international in this night to show the diversity and our effort has proved to be successful.”
œWe hope this event will be officially recognised as an annual event from next year, he added.***
