Bukit Bendera Tour: A Memorable Experience for UMB and UBM Students
19 August 2024
A group of Indonesian internship students from Universitas Mercu Buana and Universitas Bina Mandiri Gorontalo recently visited Penang Hill, accompanied by local buddies Hafiz and Hidayah from Universiti Sains Malaysia, along with Mr. Hanif and Pak Agung. The day began with a scenic tour of Bukit Bendera, where the students were captivated by the breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Penang, enhanced by the dramatic atmosphere of fog, dimmed skies, and a cold breeze.
The students enjoyed leisurely exploring the area until 1 PM, when they were joined by an experienced tour guide, Mr. Ong. With his extensive knowledge of Penang's history, particularly Bukit Bendera, Mr. Ong provided a detailed explanation that left the students in awe. The group then embarked on a nature walk and visited the Penang Hill Gallery, which offered further insights into the history of Penang Hill and its unique, endangered flora and fauna.
The visit concluded with lunch at the hilltop cafeteria before the group made their way back down, marking the end of a memorable and educational experience.
