I attended a talk on “Sustainability, Biodiversity & Infrastructure Development” by Mr. Tan Kit Sun, and it was truly eye-opening. I was curious to learn how we can develop cities and infrastructure without harming nature, and Mr. Tan explained it in a simple and relatable way. He shared fascinating stories from his work in Hong Kong and Singapore, showing how understanding animal behavior helps create better plans for both humans and wildlife. For example, he talked about how simple adjustments in construction projects can protect natural habitats and keep animals safe, something I had never thought about before. It made me realize how much our actions affect the environment, even when we don’t notice it. One thing that stuck with me was his reminder that we don’t have to choose between development and nature and we can have both if we plan carefully. I left the talk feeling inspired and more aware of my own role in protecting the planet. It was a great reminder of how important it is to work together for a better future for both people and wildlife.

Joining the preloved clothes donation program for the Orang Asli was a meaningful experience for me. As I gathered clothes to donate, I reflected on how something as simple as clothing could make a big difference in someone’s life. Visiting the collection point and seeing the efforts of others inspired me, as it showed how small contributions from many people can create a big impact. This program also taught me the importance of giving back to those in need and being mindful about sustainability by reusing items instead of wasting them. It made me realize how fortunate I am and how much we can do to support underprivileged communities, especially the Orang Asli, who often face challenges. The experience left me with a deeper sense of gratitude and a stronger commitment to help others whenever I can.

Attending the talk with Emir Haqim, a mental health advocate and influencer, was a truly impactful experience for me. Hearing him share his personal journey with mental health struggles made me realize how important it is to address these issues openly. He spoke about the challenges he faced, how he sought help, and the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. What struck me the most was his emphasis on self-awareness and the need for a supportive community. It made me reflect on my own mental health and how I could be more compassionate towards others who may be struggling silently. His honesty and courage were inspiring, and it reminded me that seeking help is not a weakness but a step toward healing and growth.

I found the talk on "The Application of Mantiq and Ādāb Al-Baḥth wa al-Munāẓarah in the Postmodern Era" incredibly insightful. It highlighted how logic (Mantiq) and proper ethics in debate (Ādāb Al-Baḥth wa al-Munāẓarah) can help navigate complex discussions in today’s fast-paced world. I appreciated the emphasis on respectful communication, which reminded me of the importance of listening and understanding different perspectives. The speaker also connected these traditional concepts to modern challenges, making it easier for me to apply them in my personal and academic life. It was a meaningful experience that left me more aware of how I engage in conversations.

The "Sustainable and Resilient Cities" webinar by Dr. Ir. Indarti Komala provided valuable insights into the impact of climate change on urban areas and the steps needed to address these challenges. The session highlighted the importance of community involvement and teamwork in creating sustainable cities, showing that solutions require more than just infrastructure or technology. It also demonstrated how global strategies can inspire effective local actions. One key takeaway was the reminder that even small contributions from individuals can lead to meaningful changes.

Hi, my name is Falisha Aleeya binti arazi. I am 19 years old and from Kuliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design taking the course Applied Arts and Design.

In my understanding, Sustainable development is about creating a future where people can thrive while respecting and nurturing the environment. It means finding ways to grow economically, live well, and protect natural resources, ensuring that future generations have the same opportunities and a healthy planet to live on. It requires a balance between progress and preservation.

Before Learning SDG

Before learning about the SDGs, I might feel a sense of curiosity and concern about the world’s future. The idea of global challenges like poverty, climate change, and inequality might seem overwhelming, and I’d likely wonder how these issues could ever be addressed in a meaningful way. There could also be a sense of urgency, mixed with uncertainty about where to start or how individual actions could make an impact. Learning about the SDGs would likely bring a sense of hope, offering a structured framework that shows how countries, organizations, and individuals can work together to create positive change.

After Learning SDG

After learning about the SDGs, I might feel more empowered and hopeful, realizing that these goals provide a clear roadmap for tackling global challenges. Understanding that efforts are being made on an international scale, along with the potential for collective action, would bring a sense of optimism. It could also foster a deeper sense of responsibility, as the SDGs highlight how each person and community can contribute to a better future. There's likely a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of various issues, and the realization that sustainable solutions require collaboration, innovation, and long-term thinking.

During Learning SDG

During learning about the SDGs, I might feel excited and motivated to help make the world better. The problems may seem big, but knowing that everyone can play a part makes it feel possible. I would start to think about how my own actions can help, and realize that making positive changes needs teamwork and effort from everyone. It could also make me want to do more to help with issues like poverty, inequality, and the environment.
