This series of activities were packaged in the Tri-City program.
One of participants from Singapore, Ruqoyah Binte Mazlan, admitted very excited to follow this program because it could know the dynamics and business development in other countries. "It is so pleased to join the Tri-City program, because it opens the insight and opportunity to foster friendship with people outside Singapore," she said on the sidelines of the opening ceremony in the Hall of FEB UMM, Monday (25/9).
