FEATURED INTERVIEW An interview with one of the students that was awarded, best traditional attire, during the Cultural Festival that was held on 17th August 2016, Fathima Azra Mohamed Imityas from Sri Lanka. Tell us about yourself. My name is Fathima Azra Mohamed Imityas. I commonly go by Azra, but some of my friends at school call me Ahchan. I am 19 years old. I am from Sri Lanka and I have lived in Malaysia for the past 6.5 years with my family. What programme are you studying at Megatech? Diploma in Business istration. I am currently in my 3rd semester. During the Megatech Cultural Festival Event, what role did you play? I was one of the participants in the cultural fashion show and I can happily say I was awarded for the best attire on that day of the event. Could you describe for us, the event in detail. The event was basically done to showcase the various cultures and religions in Malaysia. We were to wear our traditional attires. My attire was from the Indian culture, which is quite similar to ours, in Sri Lanka. Most of the students wore different cultural costumes such as Malay, Indian, Chinese, among others. Besides the dressing, there were also cultural performances that were amazing. And finally, we all got to share a meal (lunch) together, with all the various foods of Malaysian culture. It was an awesome day for me! Was this event of any inspiration to you? Yes, it surely was. Mostly, the unity portrayed. I cannot imagine how all these different cultures can live in peace and as one nation. I have been in Malaysia for about 7 years and I never felt unsafe. This is so inspiring, how I wish all nations could be like this. Would you encourage such an event to be held in the College annually? Definitely. This event creates awareness of the diverse cultures in Malaysia. Megatech being a College with both Malaysian and foreign students, most foreign students don’t know about the Malaysian culture. Through this event, we get to learn about it.
