MIMA was among the invited exhibitors at Pesta Buku Akademi Laut Malaysia 2025, held in conjunction with Hari Membaca 2025, on 23 April 2025. The programme aimed to foster a culture of reading and learning, particularly among its students and other attendees (visitors).

Representing MIMA at the exhibition were Ms. Sharifah Widad Syed Nazmi and Ms. Nor Asfasyuhada Abdullah, both from the Publication and Resource Centre Unit (PRCU) of MIMA. They actively engaged with visitors, shared insights on MIMA’s initiatives and publication outputs, and helped raise awareness on maritime affairs in Malaysia.

Overall, the exhibition provided a valuable platform to showcase a diverse collection of books and resources, covering maritime affairs, engineering, and business.

The participation of secondary school students from Alor Gajah further enriched the programme, offering them a first-hand glimpse into ALAM’s academic environment and potential career pathways in the maritime industry.

MIMA congratulates ALAM on the successful organisation of the programme and remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote maritime awareness and education in Malaysia.
