On 1 August 2025, students from SEGi embarked on an educational journey to the Borneo Cultures Museum, Kuching—an experience that brought classroom theory into vivid, cultural reality. The visit was joined by students from the Penghayatan Etika dan Peradaban and Bahasa Kebangsaan courses, guided by lecturers Vynessa and Farhana. This immersive learning activity aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of Malaysia’s diverse heritage while deepening their appreciation for ethical values, unity, and national identity.
As students explored the museum’s galleries filled with traditional artefacts, indigenous customs, and cultural attire, they witnessed the living narrative of Sarawak’s multi-ethnic fabric. The Borneo Cultures Museum—Southeast Asia’s second-largest museum and the largest in Malaysia—houses more than 6,000 cultural artefacts, offering a powerful lens through which students connected history with present-day Malaysian identity (Sarawak Museum Department). The trip functioned as a “living classroom,” where academic content was reinforced through hands-on engagement, critical reflection, and peer discussion.
Interactive exhibits highlighting ethical traditions and civic practices among Sarawak’s diverse communities sparked meaningful conversations among students, encouraging them to draw links between heritage, harmony, and responsibility. By stepping beyond lecture halls, students gained a greater sense of cultural empathy and social awareness—key components in shaping responsible, inclusive citizens.
The reflection sessions led by the lecturers during and after the visit allowed SEGi College Sarawak’s students to consolidate their insights, adding depth and relevance to their academic journey. This experience not only enriched their educational outcomes but also aligned with global goals of sustainable education, cultural preservation, and social cohesion.
As Malaysia continues to celebrate and protect its multicultural identity, initiatives like this remain crucial. The visit offered more than just exposure—it planted the seeds of civic consciousness, unity in diversity, and cultural pride among the next generation of learners.
This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
