GAMBANG, 14 March 2025 – A total of 400 food packs were distributed, and various food donations were received by students of Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) in conjunction with the annual Moh Sahur programme, now in its fourth year, organised by Pahang FM in collaboration with sponsors to reach out to those in need.

Leading the convoy was Member of Parliament for Paya Besar, Dato’ Indera Mohd Shahar Abdullah, accompanied by his delegation, who were welcomed by the Chairman of the Council of Heads of Fellowship Institutions at UMPSA and Principal of Student Residence (RP) 4, Nasrul Salim Pakheri, the Director of the Centre for Corporate Communications, Mimi Rabita Abdul Wahit, Principal of RP3, Rosjuliana Hidayu Rosli, the fellowship committee, and Representatives of the Student Resident Council (PEKA).

Also present was the Director of RTM Pahang, Ariffin Awang.

According to Dato’ Indera Mohd Shahar, beyond building rapport, the programme aims to share sustenance by providing sahur meals.

“This programme not only offers an opportunity to mingle with UMPSA students but also instils reflection and gratitude within oneself,” he said.

Besides strengthening bonds of friendship, the visit was also meant to give deeper meaning to the month of Ramadan and connect with students to inspire them to strive for academic excellence.

The convoy left the campus at 2:00 am before stopping at the Gambang Police Station for sahur.

The programme also received support from Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), DSH Hotel, and Hub Usahawan.

Coordination efforts were supported by the Centre for Corporate Communications, the Student Affairs and Alumni Department, the Students’ Representative Council, PEKA, and the UMPSA Security Division.

Throughout the month of Ramadan, various activities have been planned by UMPSA, including the bubur lambuk programme, Singgah Sahur, the Kenduri Rewang programme, and several other initiatives in collaboration with corporate entities and agencies for students and the local community.

The UMPSA Singgah Sahur Programme is also conducted annually leading up to Ramadan, aiming to connect the university with society in line with the slogan ‘Technology for Society’ and to promote the volunteerism agenda among its members.
