He emphasised the contributions of PGSC in improving the experiences of postgraduate students, with a particular focus on providing academic assistance, facilitating professional growth and ensuring well-being. After the introduction of PGSC, a campus tour was organised to acquaint new students with the educational and recreational facilities in XMUM. Ms. Ooi Khim May, the Vice President of PGSC, delivered a comprehensive presentation to the new students on the available facilities of XMUM.


After the briefing sessions, ice-breaking and bonding games were organised to encourage interaction among the students. All participants were then treated with a lunch break sponsored by Sapid.
