The number of plastic waste keeps increasing every year and becoming a growing segment of the municipal solid waste stream. Landfill space is very limited and plastic is difficult to biodegrade. For this project, we are proposing to build a mini greenhouse by using recycled plastic bottles. We chose "Kampung Teluk Layang'' for the implementation of the project. It is a village for a community of stateless people who do not have an identity that stay in Sabah. During our site visit to this village, we discovered a lot of trash near the shore. We realize that this situation threatens the life and beauty of the environment.So, we want to raise awareness and educate people about the importance of environmental protection to these villagers. This mini greenhouse will serve as an exposure for them to comprehend more about environmental concerns.We discovered that some of them have planted vegetables and fruits but it is inefficient because the crop is disrupted by animals such as monkeys. This greenhouse will act as crop protection from any predators so that their crop can grow healthy. Apart from contributing to a reduction in pollution in the air and water, it is to encourage farming and emphasize the importance of greenhouses as a protection. To find permanent work also has become a challenge for this community. Through planting this will increase their food production and it also can support their daily lives without having to travel to the town. 

There are many, many thousands of street cats in Malaysia. It can be found everywhere in Malaysia. Street cats include stray cats and feral cats, are mostly mixed breed cats. Feral cats refer to the cats that have lived in the wild for long time without an owner while stray cats refer to the cats that have been adopted by people, then abandoned for some reason, and breed on their own after abandonment. Therefore, survival rates for stray cats are low because they do not know how to forage like feral cats. Furthermore, they do not know what they can and cannot eat. Many well-meaning people take pity on street cats and often feed them on the street. However, we need to know that protecting street cats requires not only “love”, but also proper management. While giving love to cats, people who love cats should also show rational thinking and actions to ensure the surrounding environmental hygiene when feeding street cats.Let's focus in Taman Bendahara, Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan. In this area, there about 25 to 30 street cats living here. Many nearby residents, students or shopkeepers will feed them but in an improper way. For example, they will lefts the cat food directly on the ground. Although some of them will put the cat food in a container but after that the container will be thrown aside and no one cares. It is not only bad for cats, it will also destroy the environmental hygiene.  Other than that, leaving cat food on the floor will also lead to waste. This is because the cat food might be contaminated or wet from the rain and cats can no longer eat it. If it continues to be ignored over the time, it might cause more problems such as diseases that caused by environmental hygiene. Therefore, as a student studying and living in this area. We decide to do what we can to help the cats and also the community. The purpose of this project is to place 8 cat feeders at 8 specific spots in this area. The cat feeders will be made by ourself using the UPVC pipes. With the cat feeders, street cats can have fixed place and container to eat and no need to worry about cat food being soaked by rain. The design of the cat feeder allows at least two cats to eat at the same time. In addition, having cat feeders can also improve current environmental hygiene. Furthermore, the cat feeders also convenient for the well-meaning people who want to feed the cats. 

Malaysia's rich diversity can sometimes lead to social tensions, with stereotypes and prejudice arising from a lack of cultural understanding. These issues, if ignored, can create divisions and cause conflict.The 'Harmony in Humanity' project seeks to address these challenges by promoting respect, teamwork, and cultural awareness. Through fun events and activities, the project encourages collaboration between different communities to reduce prejudice and build a more united society.Support from the My Starfish Foundation and the public is key to making this project a success. Resources and funding are needed to reach and engage communities across Malaysia.

The understanding of ‘Rukun Negara’ among the young generation should be reinforced. Not just in terms of memorizing, the children should be able to explain the meaning of each of the principles. It is more effective to apply the introduction of ‘Rukun Negara’ at an early stage as they can grow up applying it. 

Language proficiency among rural school students is usually found to be below average, compared to students from urban and city schools. Student self confidence level to speak is relatively low. During the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, the situation becomes worse as students spend most of their time at home, without regular contact and supervision of their teachers. Activities related to enhancement of communication skills such as public speaking competition, motivational camp etc. are limited. From our observation, participation in speaking related competitions such as storytelling and debate are dominated by students from city schools. The other issue related to poor language proficiency is lack of reading culture among the rural school students. Our plan is to conduct a program, namely the Read to Speak Out Campaign (RSOC)at one of the rural schools in Perlis, SK Jelempok. The initiative is to benefit around 30 Standard 4 to Standard 6 students. The program involves setting up a speaking and reading corner at the school, mentoring sessions with UniMAP students and a public speaking competition.  From our brief conversation with the headmaster of SK Jelempok, some students need help in improving self confidence to speak in front of a big crowd. The school is supportive as this initiative is in line with their aim to improve leadership and communication skills among students. The students can be prepared to represent the school in any related competitions at state or national level. It is hoped that this inaugural program will be a great success in improving student language proficiency and confidence in delivering their thoughts on current issues. Similar ideas can be replicated in other rural schools.  

There is an issue currently in Perhentian Island, Terengganu, which is too much domestic waste. This program mainly planned to help minimise waste being transferred to the mainland as the state government doesn’t provide a landfill for them as a site for the waste disposal in the island as it will affect its beauty. Hence, they are transferring all the domestic waste from the island to the mainland. It stated that the three primary islands in Terengganu are Perhentian Island (the project site), Kapas Island, and Redang Island with an estimated 500 tons of waste as of 2016, transferred to the mainland. It doesn’t only cost them a lot of money to move all the trash to the mainland. Still, it also affects the local community as the domestic waste is only transferred occasionally. It causes an unpleasant smell, and it is also risky for the local community to help move the trash to the mainland. 

Language Café is a one-stop centre for the students to enjoy learning English language in an exciting way. The young students will be exposed to a conducive and positive environment in the room that provides various forms of teaching and learning materials. The games from the previous English language activity called Grammar Learning Adventures (GLAD) conducted by UiTM Negeri Sembilan, Kampus Rembau shall be added into the room to give students more comfortable spaces to gain their knowledge. This room will also be used in spreading the joy of learning English Language as well as the joy of learning Grammar Learning Adventures (GLAD) to the other under-enrolled schools in the rural area of Rembau.The Language Café will be set up at SK Bongek, Rembau. This school has been chosen as it is located in a rural area which is SK Bongek, (NBA3011), Km 31, Jalan Tampin, 71300 Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. The total number of students from Year 1 to Year 6 are less than 150 which to be categorized as one of the under-enrolled schools. This is the first school that has experienced the English language activity called Grammar Learning Adventures (GLAD) conducted by UiTM Negeri Sembilan, Kampus Rembau. In this Language Café project, approximately 20 primary students from this school will be trained by student facilitators and lecturers from UiTM Negeri Sembilan, Kampus Rembau to become “Buddy Trainers”on Grammar Learning Adventures (GLAD) for another under-enrolled school in Rembau,that is, SK Kampong Batu.SK Kampong Batu is the second under-enrolled school that has been chosen to experience Grammar Learning Adventures (GLAD). SK Kampong Batu has been categorized as one of the under-enrolled schools in Rembau which has less than 150 students. It is located just 3.1km from SK Bongek. SK Kampong Batu (NBA3009) is located at No. 1, Kampong Batu, Negeri Sembilan, 71300 Rembau, Negeri Sembilan.Due to the local environment that lacks the use of English, students in both schools need to be exposed to an environment that could increase their motivation not just to learn but also to love English. This will give them the confidence to communicate well in English with their teachers, peers and for their future use too.The students face problems when it comes to speaking in English as they have grammatical difficulties. Grammar is one of the important parts in English language. Unfortunately, the students have yet not mastered their grammar which has led to English communication difficulties not in just writing but in speaking too. This is based on the interview with the principal of the school and has caused a concern by both the principal and the school English Language teachers.If the students are given a chance to experience a new and comfortable environment which allows the students to have a high interest to love and use English, their communicative ability could also be improved. 

Au2 Taman Keramat is located in district of Ampang in Selangor, alongside the Klang River. The village consists of 18-block flats with 668 units while the overall population is approximately 2300 people. According to the leader of taman, crime rates are high within the community. Prior to EMCO1.0 (Year 2020), we had the opportunity to run a live-build project ( Keramat Community Library ). During the post-mortem, we had come to a realization that although we have a tangible final built library,but  there was less ideal collaborative condition during the implementation this community project. First, the lack of communication and engagement between university students and the youth community which led to an imbalanced community project because 90% of the builders were from the university hence it becomes an “one-sided” projectthat focused on the university students rather than the whole community.  Therefore, the reflection of our previous project should be taken into strong consideration to understand the proper method to construct a healthier way of engaging the community. Several researches will also be done in order to produce a general guideline for community engagement.From understanding the situation, we hope to contribute our knowledge in architecture (the understanding of relation of people and place) to ease some of the social, environmental and community work. To instil the importance of a community public space, we hope to have a participatory community engagement which includes the youth to be more proactive and involved. This workshop shall teach the community to be able to build, sustain, and innovate on future designs if they wish to.
