Phared Shakur: Young Verve


The world today is fast growing advanced in information technology and creative thinking skills. We are proud to be Malaysian who is united in a harmonious life. We will never feel timid to show our love and loyalty to our judicious country leader and his philosophy to this country. The irksome thing that we hate to see is when there are some people who do not appreciate our former leader sacrifice in developing unity among the societies and facilities provided by our country, Malaysia.

Based on the theme of national inspirations, the Broadcasting club, Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam, has organized the ‘Aspirasi Negaraku’ video clips competition. The competition was started in April 2012 and is open to all the UiTM students in Malaysia. Through the competition, it can help the young generation especially from the university level show their appreciation to the country and leaders who strive to maintain the peace.
