Study trip to Iskandar - 11 Jun 2014

Earlier this month, we had 72 IIT students and 6 staff travel to Iskandar for a day trip to visit a company Celestica Electronics and the Malaysia Information Centre (IMIC). Amongst the students were 10 DFS juniors who went for the trip. Abigail, one of our 10 Juniors has written a reflection below to share with us a little more on what they did on the trip.

"This Wednesday, 11 June 2014, was probably another average weekday but it was the first time I went on a study trip with IIT School. The trip, which lasted for a day, took us around several flagship zones in Iskandar Malaysia. 
To start off, we arrived at Celestica Electronics where we were given a short talk which introduced us to the company.

Also, we had a tour to view the company’s manufacturing process. In addition, a tour around Flagship B showed us places like LegoLand, Educity and PineWood Iskandar Malaysia Studios. Besides this, we were given a talk by a staff at Iskandar Malaysia Information Centre which gave us more background and information about how Iskandar Malaysia is developing and working towards being a strong and sustainable metropolis of international standing.      

"Prior to the trip, I knew little about Iskandar Malaysia. Through the talks and tour, I have seen the developments and got to know how the Malaysian government is combining different facilities and services to attract investors. I am glad that I attended the trip which has exposed me to something new."
