A Design Exhibition was presented by the Faculty of Design and Innovation themed “Heaven and Hell” with designs revolving around domestic crimes and toy design followed by workshops on illustration and marker rendering.

Visitors were addressed by Professor Emeritus Dato’ Ar Parid Wardi, Limkokwing University Vice Chancellor at the Limkokwing University Hall of Fame.

Said Dato’ Parid “Today is about understanding the things we do and not about memorising. You have been given a unique opportunity for education and you should value it.”

The highlight of the day’s programme was a play organised by a new group of theatre enthusiasts consisting of students from the Faculty of communication, Media and Broadcasting titled “Thumbelina in Red”.

Thumbelina in Red brings you some of your favourite fairy tale characters together in a musical. You’ll meet familiar ones like Thumbelina, the Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf, the Three Blind Mice and our very own version of a twisted ol’ Fairy Godmother who’s alter ego is none other than an evil Witch! Both children and adults alike will be entertained by the singing mice, pigs and more, which is exactly what makes Thumbelina in Red the tale of too many tails.
