Students are given the opportunity to participate in a cross-discipline, inter-faculty learning experience which allows them to interact and gain insights into different industries which play a vital and significant role for any student, from any faculty and programme. This experience will ensure students are highly-equipped with the business acumen and creative thinking that will enhance their personal development, and provide the ‘X’ factor, or competitive edge to ensure they are highly valued, highly knowledgeable, globally cultured and most importantly…highly employable.This London Integrated Project will be the start of a great journey for the students as they will be exposed to diverse range of people, cultures and religions. The students will not only visit and discover the wonders of London in terms of public relations campaign, events, design, photography, publicities, and documentary in daily life and heritage aspects but will also learn and witness by themselves how the cultural values and the legacy have been preserved and strictly followed despite London being a leading global city and one of the world’s largest metropolitan area in Europe.
Students will experience self-responsibility and be more self-determined. During this field research it will become a great eye-opener for them as they move on in their course of studies and eventually their careers. This is because the students will use primary research methods to gather data, convert it into an in-depth analysis which will eventually be published and exhibited. They will also gather data and visual research for better understanding of film and television, public relations, advertising, entrepreneurship, and event elements based on event and culture in London.
Throughout this trip, students will learn about teamwork and meeting deadlines as they need to gather as much data as possible and train themselves to work under limited time constraints. This will be a significant educational trip as students will discover and enjoy the greatness of London as well as help promote Limkokwing London.
Where's morality and humanity?
Issues about RACISM are hotly debated these days.
Hope all of the people know what is the true meaning of Independence Day. All of us must be united to overcome all of the obstacles.
This is a very good article from a younger generation and a great granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman. A very well expressed opinion of how all Malaysians should be treated.
IF THIS IS THE VOICE OF YOUR YOUNGER GENERATION IN MALAYSIA , YOU WILL BE BLESSED.

Tunku Abdul Rahman's great granddaughter

Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.
I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay"
Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.
There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian.
I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders.
For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.
No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there.
I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.
I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.
For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.
I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with.

It's very daunting that everyone's behaviors are getting worse each day.
How I wish I have the power to change the world but it's impossible for me to do this alone.
Here, I enclose an inspiring article which I read it from Facebook:-

Jakarta - Di steakhouse ini pengunjung bisa menikmati beefsteak lezat dengan pilihan wine sesuai selera. Ada 1.350 label wine yang bisa diakses informasinya. Mulai dari nama, daerah asal, jenis dan harganya. Semuanya dilakukan dengan sentuhan satu jari!Agaknya peluncuran iPad sudah merambah ke dunia kuliner. Salah satu buktinya, Bone's, sebuah steakhouse di Atlanta sejak 2 bulan silam memakai iPad untuk menawarkan daftar wine pada pelanggannya. Pelanggan bisa bebas mencari informasi dan akhirnya menentukan pilihan dengan cara yang sangat mudah.
Kalau dulu di Bone's Steakhouse, pelayan berjas hitam selalu menyodorkan daftar wine yang cukup tebal kini mereka menyodorkan iPad. Resto seak yang berinterior kayu klasik dengan taplak meja linen putih ini sudah mengandalkan kepraktisan iPad untuk menyajikan daftar wine mereka.
Hasilnya cukup menakjubkan. Penjualan wine di Bone's terutama di malam hari mengalami peningkatan hingga 11% tiap malam selama 2 minggu dibandingkan dengan 3 minggu sebelumnya. Bisa jadi ini karena tamu asyik bereksplorasi dan menemukan wine yang diinginkan lebih tepat.
Restoran-restoran lain yang sudah memakai iPad untuk daftar wine juga ada dari Sydney hingga London ke Central Park Selatan juga mengalami hal yang sama dengan Bone's. Demikian seperti yang ditulis oleh The New York Times.
Agaknya pemakaian iPad membuat pembeli lebih leluasa dan percaya diri dalam menentukan pilihannya. Karena semua info wine tersaji lengkap dalam daftar wine di iPad. Mulai dari nama, asal, tahun, harga hingga ranking dan komentar ahli wine bisa diperoleh. Tamu menjadi makin mantap dalam menentukan wine pilihan.
Seperti yang dialami oleh Bardley D. Kendall yang merupakan pelanggan Bone's. Ia memilih wine dengan iPad dan menemukan 2005 Corte Riva cabernet franc dengan harga $102, 25 % lebih murah dari harga biasanya.
Sebenarnya daftar wine interaktif sudah pernah dibuat dalam bentuk program komputer. Namun, sejak iPad diluncurkan April lalu telah memberi terobosan baru yang lebih praktis, ringan dan lengkap. Karena itulah perusahaan Apple di Long Islandpun kebanjiran order dari 40 restoran sejak 5 bulan silam.
Menurut Jennifer Martucci, VP untuk Product Development, Sales & Marketing Apple para chef selebriti kelas dunia juga menjadi pioner pemakaian iPad ini seperti Gordon Ramsay dan Todd English. Beberapa restoran seperti Bone's dan Naples Tomato di Naple, Florisa telah mengembangkan software sendiri.
Bagaimana dengan pelayan dan para wine sommeliers? Para pelayan ternyata dengan cepat belajar menyesuaikan diri. Bahkan mereka terbantu karena dengan cepat bisa mengecekstok lebih dari 20.000 botol wine. Para tamupun kadang masih memakai jasa mereka terutama saat ingin memadukan wine dengan makanan.
Fred Dame, salah satu dari 105 master sommeliers dan presiden Guild of Sommeliers Education Foundation menyambut gembira kehadiran iPad. "Kalau sampai mereka menciptakan alat yang bisa membuka wine juga, hancurlah karir kami," demikian komentarnya.
Manajemen Bone's membeli 30 iPad seharga Rp. 5.000.000,00 per buah dan 20 buah untuk keperluan restoran lainnya. Resto yang sudah ada sejak 31 tahun silam ini juga cukup bangga karena tak satupun iPad yang dipakai tamu jadi rusak atau tertumpahi makanan. Agaknya restoran dan tamu sudah siap ditemani iPad saat bersantap. Jadi jangan kaget kalau sebentar lagi iPad juga hadir di resto-resto Jakarta.

SMK Ingin Ngompreng di Produsen Mobil
Muhammad Ikhsan - detikOto
Jakarta - Produsen mobil di tanah air dihimbau dapat menyerap lulusan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) lebih banyak. Soalnya, volume kelulusan siswa saat ini tidak sebanding dengan tenaga kerja yang diserap perusahaan setiap tahunnya. Hal tersebut bisa saja berakibat tidak efektifnya pola pembelajaran yang didapat siswa selama sekolah di SMK.
"Izinkan kita ngompreng di tempat lain, karena pasokan mekanik dengan kecepatan pertumbuhan otomotif ada slek, Banyak siswa yang lulus, tapi lapangan kerja tidak tersedia, jadi pola pembelajaran di SMK tidak efektif," kata Direktur Pembinaan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Ditjen Mandikdasmen
Kementerian Pendidikan Joko Sutrisno di sela-sela jumpa pers T-TEP atau Technical Education Program di booth Toyota di IIMS JI Expo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Rabu (27/7/2010).
Saat ini, menurut Joko baru PT Toyota Astra Motor saja yeng memikirkan hal itu. Toyota sejak 1991 memiliki T-TEP atau Technical Education Program. Program itu adalah komitmen Toyota untuk menumbuhkembangkan SDM dalam hal ini adalah siswa SMK. Toyota bekerjasama dengan pemerintah.
"Kita sudah pernah ajak kerjasama pada produsen lainnya, tapi tidak ada
tanggapan. Mungkin mereka punya cara berbeda," tukas Joko.
Program T-TEP, Toyota dan pemerintah bisa melulusan 5.000 siswa dalam setahun, sementara siswa yang diserap tidak sampai segitu besar. "Jadi sangat kurang sekali perusahaan yang mau menerima," ucapnya.
Muhammad Ikhsan - detikOto
Sementara terkait dengan SDM yang handal, Joko sekaligus yang bertanggung jawab dalam program itu meyakini lulusan T-TEP tidak kalah baik dengan teknisi-teknisi lainnya. Ia menegaskan lulusan T-TEP sudah bisa diakui hingga mancanegara."Lulusan T-TEP sangat baik, tidak usah diragukan lagi. Mereka lulusan terbaik yang skilnnya bisa diandalkan," yakin Joko.
Toyota bekerjasama dengan pemerintah meningkatkan pendidikan dengan mengadakan T-TEP. Saat ini sudah T-TEP dan sub T-TEP sudah tersebar di 57 SMK di seluruh Indonesia.
"Ini salah satu komitmen kita pada dunia pendidikan nasional. Kita akan terus concern pada dunia pendidikan agar terus berkembang," kata Direktur Pemasaran TAM Joko Trisanyoto.
