The next event was the talk for the Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship subject. This talk was to prepare us for the coming Entrepreneur Bazaar Week. The topic was Business Opportunities Selection and Entrepreneur’s Key Characteristics by Mr. Nadzrin Mohd Nawi. He is from Jepun Mari company who distributes Japan items.

So after the talk, I had to rush for KARISMA meeting. Let me introduce KARISMA. It is a club on the national level that was initiated by the government based on the 1Malaysia concept. And this club is participated by all IPTA and IPTS. So, after one semester, we manage to establish a branch at UMK. :)
Since I was the vice-president so I had to organise this meeting with my president and to group up all the members. We had to encourage the students of UMK to participate in this club as it is encouraged by the government and also it is a good help to build the students positively. So that night we had the meeting to introduce KARISMA to the new members and also to take picture for the KARISMA card that we were making. Then the board members had a meeting for the launching of the club which will take place around March.
