Jom gerakkan ACAP!
not only does MCG act as a platform for us to actively engage in our sub-IGs, but it's also somewhere we could all be together! Indeed the past semesters have been more colorful with all the various events organised, from the Iftar during Ramadhan to Open House and lots more..!
and... MCG members would also be notified of any out-of-campus majlis organised by other organizations and get to be part of their xciting programmes! Definitely Lots of exposure and widens your circle of friends too. The current AMP-NUS reading circle sessions and last year's Camp ITQAN Ittihadul Qulub are definitely part of the noteworthy memorable ones (pics below) with other Polytechnics' respective Malay Cultural & Muslim Student Societies' groups. Get in touch, Get connected to a larger sphere! =)
hopefully with more joining in, we could gear up our creative ideas and work out those muscles in volunteering and humanitarian efforts activities this year aite. or perhaps kick start a lineup of our very own?? insyaAllah, we shall make our life fruitful not only at our personal level, but to make it beneficial for others as well! Who knows this might be just the right place where you could shine~ (:

Realisasi
W1.. W2.. W3.. E2.. E3..
we all come from a variety of study clusters aye? but each of us matters! yes, even You!
how 'bout try joining the "W" & "E" together.. perhaps we cld get something with a diff but profound meaning which illustrates this importance.. such as..
~ Warisan Emas! ~
Anak Melayu, Kita semua berharga! Tuhan beri hati dan dua tangan untuk mengusahakan, dan bekal iman untuk meyakinkan.
Bak emas, mungkin kita perlu digali, dicungkil dan digilap dahulu. Tapi cahayanya takkan terserlah kalau kita sendiri tak membuka langkah permulaan, bukan? (:

Ikatan Antara Kita
whoaa best best.. makin bertambah populace M kat RP!! (:
faces surfaced. smiles flashed. not a moment long and paths immediately parted.
Sigh.
you know & very well realise tt we do share something in common. a bond real deep which immediately binded us strongly inside even before knowing one another better!
Takkan melayu hilang di dunia. Terlalu cliché mungkin? Ahh yes. But don't you just feel glad somehow when your eyes suddenly manage to catch sight of someone just the same as you?
Smiles in sigh. They exist in bliss too. =)
truly, most of us here in MCG experience such moments.. but what do we do next?
simply leave and ignore tt fact?
Nope, we respond to them! bringing it on to the next level! 'cos we realize just how much they really mean.. if given the right nurture to those delicate sentiments, oooh it could just spark off an intense attachment between us!
wouldn't it be super niceee having a 2nd family right here in RP!
And a Very BiG one at that yeah? :D

Unik! #1
RPMCG embodies "Unity in Diversity" as the group branches out into smaller subgroups of active individuals driven by zeal and commitment.
Colourful shades of Malay culture are presented through the elegant and graceful moves of the RepFus3 dancers, ‘knockout’ rhythms of Kompang percussionists, and the power-packed agile strikes of Seni Silat Republic (Silatra).
We aspire to preserve and share this rich cultural heritage of traditions and beliefs with everyone on campus, regardless of language, race or religion.
Our motto: "Kesungguhan Tangga Kejayaan" or” Determination is the key to success", motivates us to become individuals who strive towards achieving success.

Mengorak langkah
Bismillah..
Assalamu'alaikum all!
Yoz~ school term's rolling in a few weeks' time aye! Wuih.. Zooming in the fresh new grounds of the RP Woodland's Campus & scanning The Locale... *looks far and yonder* well it's far too easy to notice the place bursting with students and our much welcomed breed of the latest freshmen this year.
Ah, And to spice up the scene we surely have our very own league of the Malay Cultural Group right here in the heartlands! A catchy lineup of a wide mix-and-match of young enthusiasts with their own quirks and interesting personalities... BUT, united in their passion to uphold their much treasured Malay essence.
Okay! So how 'bout we take a short trip in getting up close & delving in deeper into knowing the many facets of this thriving society yes! Let's! ^_^

Sajak: Negara Di Dalam Mindaku
Aku punya cicit
McDonald's dan Kentucky
yang menguntungkan
orang asing tentu
Aku punya cucu
mereka kurang mengerti bahasaku
mereka kurang mengerti bahasaku
Aku punya anak
mereka asyik memicit terus alat PS2
yang melalaikan mata pelajarannya
Aku punya pemuda
setengahnya sesat di jalan kelabu
mencari nikmat di alam baru
berpelukan di bawah mentari
tak kenal batil
peduli apa dengan orang lain
setengahnya sesat di jalan kelabu
mencari nikmat di alam baru
berpelukan di bawah mentari
tak kenal batil
peduli apa dengan orang lain
Aku punya gadis muda
yang jatuh di jalan berduri
lahirlah bayi
yang kehilangan kasih diri
Aku punya bahasa
tapi rata-rata bangsaku
tidak menggunakannya lagi
menggunakan bahasa
identik orang tak berilmu
tapi rata-rata bangsaku
tidak menggunakannya lagi
menggunakan bahasa
identik orang tak berilmu
Aku punya sastera
tapi rata-rata bangsaku
lokek membeli
dan benci membacanya tentu
maka jadilah mereka
memusuhi budaya sendiri
Aku punya teman
sedikit yang mengenal
asal-usul muaranya
mereka tidak kenal Sejarah Melayu
siapa Raja Ali Haji, bisiknya
tidak hairan mereka kehilangan
Syair Perahu dan Gurindam 12 itu
tak mustahil jika mereka melaungkan
di sini tiada peribumi Melayu lagi!

Aku punya cendekia
yang berpegang kuat
cinta harmoni bangsa
pewaris penegak
meritokrasi demokrasi
sayang mereka kurang mengerti
budaya negara
Yang aku idamkan tentu Melayu jati
Inggerisnya Queen's English
tunduk mewarisi
umat Muhammad pasti
tahu Melayu sampai ceruk mana juga
jujur ikhlasnya
bukan di jubah Muhammad saja
Inggerisnya Queen's English

Yang aku inginkan
tentu Melayu berani
yang menjadi pemimpin manusia kini
di negara adil yang jujur pasti
tentu Melayu berani
yang menjadi pemimpin manusia kini
di negara adil yang jujur pasti
Untuk mendapat
pemimpin begitu rupa
beranikah mereka menjadi
macam Maimun bin Mahram
yang berkata
lebih baik aku bermata satu
yang bisa berjalan
dari rumahku ke masjid
daripada menjadi gabenor
ah sulit rasanya
bertemu orang semacam itu kini
kerana manusia lebih sayang
dirinya sendiri!
