The International Student Support Office at UITM recently hosted a vibrant and culturally enriching event — Asian Day, bringing together students from around the world to celebrate the rich traditions and heritage of Asia.
The event began with engaging presentations by students from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and Tajikistan. Each presentation offered a glimpse into the history, art, culture, and surprising facts about these fascinating countries — all delivered with a mix of humor, creativity, and even some well-chosen memes that kept the audience entertained and curious.
One of the highlights of the event was the national costume showcase, featuring stunning traditional attire from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and India. The colorful and elegant outfits captivated the audience, offering a visual journey through the diverse styles and cultural identities of the region.
Students also had the opportunity to participate in interactive contests with exciting prizes, adding a fun and competitive twist to the event.
The final part of the official program was a beautiful concert, featuring traditional Kazakh music and a Tajik dance performance from the Pamir region, which received enthusiastic applause from the audience.
After the formal program, students continued to celebrate through integration and social activities. They could try Indian-style henna art, sample Asian sweets like Baursak, and simply enjoy each other’s company in a festive and inclusive atmosphere.
Asian Day was not only a celebration of culture, but also a reminder of the beauty of diversity and the power of shared experiences. It was a day of learning, laughter, music, and friendship — and one that will be remembered for a long time.
