Starting 1 October 2019, a total of 400 packs of nasi lemak were distributed simultaneously at both campuses to ease the burden of the students of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) before starting their early morning classes.

As early as 8.00 am, MyGift volunteers began distributing free nasi lemak to the students at various spots including bus stops and the Faculty of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering in Pekan, and Block W in Gambang.

MyGift UMP officer Mohd Jamil Mohd Jaafar said the program, called MyNasi Lemak, was one of the MyGift initiatives to encourage students to eat breakfast before starting classes.

“The program will be implemented continuously until December this year. 

“The students appreciate this initiative, which is aimed at helping students to get food,” he said.

UMP introduced the MyGift program as an effort to raise donations from all parties to provide endowments for academic sponsorships and infrastructure facilities for the students, or even to nurture the spirit of helping those in need.

The MyGift program is also introduced to facilitate the associates and alumni, as well as the public, especially the industries, to contribute to the university's endowment fund.

UMP also welcomes contributions from all parties including UMP associates, students, alumni and individuals as well as local and international corporate bodies to support the donation culture for education in the university.

The public can also contribute through internet banking by visiting the MyGift portal at mygift.ump.edu.my for more information about the program.
