SERDANG, 9 September - On the second day of the New International Students Welcoming Program (NISWP) new international students are taken to visit our capital, Kuala Lumpur. The program was held to give students a fresh experience. The visit was conducted by i-PUTRA in collaboration with 22 local and international students of pre-graduate and postgraduate students from UPM's Buddies Association. Representatives from the association acted as assistants in coordinating the program as well as mediation between international students and UPM’s management.

The program started as early as 8 am headed to Pasar Seni. The location is chosen as it is close to the city's many tourist attractions. There, they are divided into small groups assisted by a UPM student, they are brought to visit various attractions around the Pasar Seni and were given descriptions of the history and background of these places.
