Assistant programme manager, Nur Zulaiqha M. Mazlam said that the objective of the programme was not just to get a participation from another division to produce a new idea of the module for the Steadfast Club, but also to create a bond between them.

The competition was judged by Vice President 1 of Inspired Club, Saidatul Nur Afiqah Sahril, Vice President 1 of Comrade Club, Izyan Nasuha Khairizam, and President of Steadfast, Namazi Ab. Rashid.
The competition involved participation from seven bureaus – HRM, INFO, SENDI, SPECTRA, OUTREACH, GEMUDA, and ENS.
The title of ‘Best Bureau’ was given to SPECTRA with 291 marks where the team came out with fresh idea for moral and identity camp. They illustrated the module by looking at the situation of students who have a discipline problem, especially in the urban school.
