KUCHING: The International Conference on Creative Arts & Social Sciences (CASSIC 2025) brought together presenters and participants from all over Malaysia and abroad, making it a dynamic platform for cultural exchange, academic discourse and inter-institutional collaboration at the Waterfront Hotel, here on Wednesday.
Themed “Empowering sustainability through creative, innovative & digitalisation for societal well-being and economic growth,” the conference was organised by the College of Creative Arts, UiTM Melaka Branch and successfully attracted the interest of various academic groups, researchers, and students from within and outside the country.
Several participants shared their views, experiences and hopes for the conference.
SHARINA SAMSUDIN, Lecturer at UiTM Melaka
It’s our first time collaborating with the Sarawak team and attending a programme here. The organisers were extremely helpful and welcoming. I felt honoured to collaborate with the Sarawak team. The atmosphere, academic contributions, and cultural exchange made this a wonderful platform. I really liked the ambience here, and I hope there will be more collaborations like this in the future.
Iman Zulaikha, Master’s student from UiTM Selangor
The experience has been really great. I’ve met new people and reconnected with familiar faces. It’s been a good opportunity for networking. I’m looking forward to the keynote speeches and my presentation. As for my expectations, I hope CASSIC continues to hold more events in the future—maybe even internationally someday. I’ll definitely support and participate again, Inshallah.
ZHOU YAR, Representative from China
For me, this event is wonderful. I’ve experienced different cultures that I’ve never seen before. I really respect and appreciate that. This is my first time here, and I’m very impressed, especially with the cultural aspect of the event.
XIE YITIAN, PHD student from UiTM Shah Alam
My experience here has been amazing. The show, the speeches, the lectures—it’s all very inspiring. It is also my first time here in Kuching, so this has been a great experience overall.
