Sikh students from four institutions of higher learning in Kelantan, a state on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, will take part in a three-day forum that starts on Thursday (13 Oct 2016).
Some 30 students have already confirmed their participation for the programme called ‘Connecting With the Power’ to be held at Gurdwara Sahib Kota Bharu, the gurdwara in the state capital of Kelantan.
The students are from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Lincoln University College and Asia Pacific Flight Training.
“This is the first time a programme is being organised for all Sikh students at institutions of higher learning in Kelantan. We want them to connect with themselves and with the local Sikh community,” programme director Achhinda Singh tells Asia Samachar.
The programme, which includes a visit to Gurdwara Sahib Tumpat located about 20km norths of Kota Bharu, will be moderated by Assc Prof Dr Sarjit Singh from University Putra Malaysia, corporate trainer Dr Sukdev Singh and Kuala Lumpur based granthi and parcharak Giani Daljit Singh.
“The programme developed here can be replicated for Sikh students at other places,” said Acchindra, who is a vice president of a major Malaysian-based bank.
