Kuala Lumpur, 2 July 2010 - The UCSI Group staff, encompassing 15 subsidiaries inclusive of UCSI University, was treated to a sumptuous dinner together with good music and entertainment at the Nikko Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The event was attended by some 700 of the UCSI staff and their family members. Gracing the occasion were members of the University Council, including the Chairman of the University Council, Yang Berbahagia Tan Sri Dato' Seri (Dr.) Musa Mohamad and the Chancellor of UCSI University, Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Dr. Abdul Rahman Arshad.

The company dinner saw ten performances ranging from ethnic Malaysian dances,  a yoga demonstration, to singing performances and sketches, presented by various departments of the UCSI Group.  There were also lucky draws for all staff members who attended the dinner. Food hampers were presented to ten of the departments  that were brave enough to perform on stage.

The highlight of the event was the Long Service Award ceremony which was especially organised to recognise long serving staff who have dedicated years of service to the organisation. Staff members who served up to ten, fifteen and twenty years were recognised at this ceremony.

The theme for the entire night was “Think Green, Go Green”, which had been unanimously voted by the staff members in the months prior to the company dinner. The theme reflected the establishment’s commitment to the Earth’s conservation, and encouraged everyone to include recycled items as part of their attire for the night. The winner for the Best  Dressed  Female for the night was Norizan Sulong, who had made her dress out of ribbons and a rain coat, while the winner for the  Best  Dressed  Male for the night was Derek Wong, who had made creative use of various recycled items on his costume for the night.
