Event Highlight | National Training Week (NTW) 2025 ✨

Mervin Tan Wei Hong, a current master’s student from the Department of Chinese Studies at Southern University College, was invited to participate in the Learn On-The-Go event of the National Training Week (NTW), organized by the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia. The event was held on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at AEON Tebrau City Mall, Johor Bahru. During the event, he shared the charm and knowledge of Chinese calligraphy with the public!

Mervin expressed that he was deeply honoured to be invited by NTW and HRD Corp to serve as a representative for the promotion and education of Chinese calligraphy at this grand event. He hopes to bring tradition into everyday life and make art an integral part of culture through the strokes of calligraphy. Calligraphy is not merely an artistic form of writing but also a crystallization of profound Chinese cultural wisdom, embodying historical richness and humanistic spirit.

Representing Southern University College, Mervin actively promoted cross-cultural exchange and learning at the event. Through teaching calligraphy, he aimed to inspire public interest in Chinese art and to strengthen integration and interaction among Malaysia’s multicultural society.

Southern University College sincerely thanks the organizers for their support and trust, which provided us with the opportunity to explore the wonders of calligraphy with the public, passing down cultural heritage and inspiring future generations through ink and brush.
