From 19 to 21 July 2025, I had the pleasure of joining the RMC Team Building Program 2025, a much-anticipated event organized by the Research Management Centre (RMC), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The retreat was held at the serene and scenic Tadom Hill Resort, located just outside of Kuala Lumpur.

We departed early in the morning, gathering as a team at 7:00 AM and traveling together by bus — a perfect start that allowed us to unwind and catch up even before reaching the destination. The three-day event was filled with a mix of light-hearted activities, challenging team tasks, and moments of reflection — all set within the backdrop of nature.
Tadom Hill Resort, with its eco-friendly bamboo architecture, calming lakes, and green surroundings, provided the ideal setting for a break away from our daily routines. Whether it was the raft-building activities on the lake, high-spirited obstacle courses, or casual bonding during mealtimes, the program successfully fostered closer camaraderie among RMC staff from all units.
Beyond the fun and games, the retreat served as a timely reminder of the importance of unity, mutual respect, and shared goals in the workplace. In a busy research support environment like ours, building strong interpersonal trust and understanding is crucial — and this retreat delivered exactly that.
Special thanks to the organizing committee for their efforts in planning a smooth and impactful program. We were also constantly reminded to be mindful of personal safety and belongings throughout the event, and thankfully everything went smoothly.
All in all, it was a rejuvenating experience. I left Tadom Hill Resort with not just fond memories, but also a renewed spirit to continue contributing meaningfully to RMC’s mission.
Looking forward to the next one!
