By Syafiah Sakirin

GOMBAK, 21 December 2022: A proposal on the foundation of the National Residential College Student Representative Council (MPKK) establishment was discussed during the National Residential College Conference 2022 on 17 December (Saturday) at IIUM Senate Hall.

The fourth motion proposal discussion was led by the former President of Mahallah Representative Coordination Council (MRCC), Amaly Syahmie.

According to Amaly, the discussion and recommendation in the session is crucial to further work on the organisation’s solid technicality and guidelines that will be proceeded by the future MPKK committee in the next years.
