These students will stay for three days in Malaysia by the first week of July and get exposed to a different cuisine culture with visits to five leading star properties at Malaysia. The trip was offered as a gesture of appreciation for outstanding merits of students in academics and based on the other noteworthy aspects such as 'Attendance', 'Attitude', 'Competitive Skills' and more.
