THEME MALAYSIA IS MADE UP of a multiracial community. To progress towards the country’s future development, unity among the people is the key to success. However, before the focus moves towards unity, people in the country coming from all walks of life, from different races and background, should have at least a mutual understanding towards each other’s culture. Interestingly, all of the cultures blends well just as perfect as a dish called Rojak. Finally, people in the country come together as one, despite their difference in background, and culture. All in all, Malaysians did it, simply because we embrace diversity.

SPECIAL EVENTS
Day 1 ~ SDG Night HOW WOULD YOU FEEL if you were a turtle choking on the plastics you swallowed in desperation? How does it feel to be forced to flee your home to escape the never-ending war? Or to be deprived of everything you are so accustomed to? On this night, we hope to inspire delegates to dream out LOUD the world you want to live in. 8 stations will be presented, each targeting one or several related SDGs. Explore the SDGs that are most related OR unfamiliar to you in the form of games or simulations. We will be joined by several local and international NGOs, such as Amnesty International, National Human Rights Society, Women's Center for Change, Penang Green Council, Langur Project Penang and Arus Academy. The NGOs will be collaborating with us in creating the stations and to provide insightful information and possibly immediate actions for you to fight for whatever you believe in. The Facilitators Team will also be working very closely with the Conference Committee Team. Together, we present to you this very special night event.
