KUALA SUNGAI BARU, MELAKA, 19 July 2026 – The Ihya’ Community Gotong-Royong Programme, organised by the Johor Students’ Association (JOHSA) UNIMEL in collaboration with Student and Alumni Affairs (HEPA) and the UNIMEL Student Representative Council (MPP), was successfully held at Masjid Al-Ilmi, Universiti Islam Melaka (UNIMEL).

The programme, which involved a total of 48 participants comprising 20 UNIMEL students and 28 secretariat members and organising committee members, aimed to foster the spirit of volunteerism, cooperation, discipline and social responsibility among students.

One of the main activities of the programme was a gotong-royong session to clean and maintain the Masjid Al-Ilmi premises, ensuring that the mosque environment remains clean, comfortable and conducive for use by the university community and the local community.

The programme also served as a platform to strengthen ties between students, university management and the mosque management. The spirit of cooperation fostered through such community-based activities is expected to nurture students who are more caring, responsible and aware of the needs of society.

The programme also received the support and participation of Puan Noraini binti Abdol Raop, JOHSA UNIMEL Coordinator; Encik Muhammad Anuar Farhin bin Abdul Razak, President of the Student Representative Council for the 2026/2027 Session; and Tn.

Through programmes such as this, UNIMEL remains committed to developing students who are not only academically excellent but also possess leadership qualities, a spirit of volunteerism and a strong sense of social responsibility.

The Ihya’ Community Gotong-Royong Programme is expected to serve as a catalyst for organising more community and volunteer activities in the future, in line with UNIMEL’s efforts to produce a generation of students who are disciplined, have integrity and are capable of making positive contributions to society.
