SULAM: INNOVATION PROJECT FOR DECORATIVE FLOWER POT RACK IMPLEMENTATION The SULAM program titled "INNOVATION PROJECT FOR DECORATIVE FLOWER POT RACK IMPLEMENTATION" was organized by final-year FKTA students at Darul Ulum Mosque, Wang Ulu, Kangar, Perlis. This program took place on Saturday, June 15, 2024, and involved 4 students from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and 2 mosque members.The program activities included a demonstration on how to make decorative flower pot racks using PVC pipes. The main objective of organizing this program was to beautify and brighten up the mosque area as well as to provide ideas for the mosque to improve the surroundings. The flower pot racks made from PVC pipes are easy to modify, either by increasing the number of racks or by diversifying their designs.The implementation of making flower pot racks using PVC pipes involved collaboration between UniMAP students and mosque members to learn how to make these racks. This activity also strengthened the relationship between UniMAP students and the local community at Darul Ulum Mosque.In addition, this project aimed to expose UniMAP students to community service activities, enhance their communication skills, and foster a spirit of volunteerism and a high sense of concern for the local community.Organizer: Final-year FKTA students in collaboration with Universiti Malaysia Perlis.

The Young Environmentalist Camp program is organized in line with the Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2013-2025 where one of the main criteria is to improve the quality of the curriculum especially Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education.

This program focuses on education in a fun activity-based teaching and learning environment to attract students' interest in producing more young generations who are skilled in the field of science and technology.

Apart from that, this program is expected to bring students at the primary school level closer to environmental education where each activity that is carried out introduces students to types of pollution such as solid waste pollution, noise pollution, and water pollution in addition to showing methods of nature conservation environment done by environmental engineers.

Every activity organized is expected to prepare the new generation to bravely face future challenges, resolve conflicts peacefully, make appropriate decisions in critical situations, and have the courage to do what is right.

Young Environmentalist Camp is successfully organized in four consecutive years starting from 2018 until 2022 exclude 2021 due to COVID-19 and control movement order enforced by the government.
