The Council Led By Sir Leong Kar Heng
This wonderful camp was led by an officer from SMK Jalan Pasir Puteh, Ipoh,
Sir Leong Kar Heng. Plannings and Meetings were held since February 2009 to coordinate and plan this camp since the Universal Camp II in 2002. Later, it was decided that
Looi Hong Wei from our division will be selected as the Camp Commander and
Leong Khoy Wan from SM Yuk Choy (SUWA), Jelapang will be elected as the Assistant Camp Commander.
Playing Tree and Squirrel
The 4 days 3 nights camp included various activities and games to be enjoyed by participants and no punishment will be given throughout the camp as it was a fun camp. The aim of this camp is mainly to strengthen the relationship between members from different divisions and to improve the coordination and cooperation among the committees from the 6 organizing divisions. It was indeed a success in this camp which turns up to suit the aims mentioned.
Members Setting Up Their Tent
Setting Up Tents
The first and second nights were spent in the school field with the tents provided by the headquarters. Members were complaining about the hot weather and they could not withstand the tank of mosquitoes which attacked them during the night. Immediate action was taken by the organizing committee by putting mosquito coils on both sides of the tents. A total of 12 tents were set up on the first night and 14 tents on the second night to stuff in the overwhelming members.
Members Climbing Robe to Reach The Top
Second day was indeed an eye opening experience for the members. They were taking the Outdoor Pursuit proficiency badge and their task was to complete the jungle trekking route located right behind SM Yuk Choy (SUWA), Jelapang. Various obstacles and difficulties were thrown upon the members as the route was muddy and there were places where a robe was needed to climb up to the higher ground. All the groups managed to complete the task given on time.
Magician Performing
SMI Performance
Third day was the showdown day. Happy Hours or performance night was on this day. Firstly, there were singings and performances by the organizing divisions' committees. Our division performance was a stunned up singing. The last-minute preparation requires all the committees to sing a verse of the song, Here In My Home. But fortunately, we managed to get the worst performance in the spectators' hearts. We even invited a superb magician to perform in our glorious night. The show amazed tonnes of members there. A thumb-up was given by them.
Camp Commander - Looi Hong Wei
Master of Ceremony - Ivan Tan & Tai Zhen Yeik
The final day was also the meaningful day of all. The team-up groups formed by members from various divisions were dismissed and they have to say goodbye to each other. Closing ceremony was great too. We managed to invite a state staff officer, Sir Chan Weng Hoong and the deputy headmaster of SM Yuk Choy (SUWA), Jelapang, Mr Leong Seng Nyien to attend the ceremonial event.

Certificates were also given to the committees and the members. The Best Group Award for this camp falls to Group 5 - Sunshine with the theme Shine for Glory. The Best Leader Award was also from the same group, (names will be updated later).
All Members Fall In
For the overall view, the Universal Camp III would not be a huge success without the teamwork, cooperation and sacrifice of each and every unit in this camp. For those who participated in this camp, thank you I bid on behalf of the organizing committees for making this camp a success. Thank you committees for sacrificing your energy and time, thank you officers for supporting and guiding us this far, last but not least, thank you participants for having your trust in us which enable us to organize this camp without much troubles.
