What is Taylor’s MUN 2011?

Taylor’s MUN 2011 is a collaboration effort between two of the most active and prestigious Model United Nations Clubs in Malaysia, namely TAYMUN of Taylor’s College Subang Jaya, and TLCMUN of Taylor’s Lakeside Campus. While TAYMUN was founded in 2008 and TLCMUN was founded in 2010, the two clubs have hosted multiple successful nationwide MUN conferences, providing an enriching experience to hundreds of delegates around Malaysia in the methodology and principles behind the United Nations. Both clubs share the common goal of working for achieving the ideals of the United Nations such as free speech and democracy through diplomacy and education. The latest and most ambitious effort towards this goal has culminated in TMUN 2011.

TMUN 2011 aims for nothing less than to be the premier MUN conference in the region for University and Pre-university students. This inaugural conference will be held at the brand new state-of-the-art Taylor’s Lakeside Campus, a short distance from some of the best tourist attractions in Malaysia such as the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park. With a panel of experts arranged to educate delegates on global issues, renowned speakers, entertaining social night parties, comfortable accommodation, and a dedicated secretariat, delegates will engage in an extraordinary experience with like-minded peers from various countries and cultures.

Another factor which makes TMUN 2011 unique is our adoption of the conference format from the leading MUN conferences of the world such as Harvard World MUN and Global MUN, which represents a much closer style to the actual United Nations as compared to typical local conferences. Workshops and training will be provided to delegates to ensure a high quality academic experience.

The United Nations Association of Malaysia (UNAM) – a voluntary organisation which has consultative status with the United Nations through the World Federation of UN Associations (WFUNA) – had invited the Taylor's Lakeside Campus Model United Nations to this prestigious event.

The Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato' Sri Haji Mohd. Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, had graciously agreed to deliver a key-note address, entitled, “Malaysia in a Globalised World: Prospects and Challenges” at a Dinner held on Monday 1^st November 2010, at 8.00 p.m. at the Royale Chulan Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Prime Minister did not attend this event. Thus, the key-note address was delivered by the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia.

In his address, the Prime Minister addressed the key issues on the international agenda confronting the world and Malaysia in the era of globalisation and present his thoughts on what constitutes Malaysia’s perspective relating to these challenges and taking into account its pro-active role within ASEAN and the responsibilities that Malaysia had shouldered in the recent past as Chair of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), among others.

The dinner event, which is also in commemoration of United Nations Day, which falls on 24 October, was attended by captains of industry, diplomats, heads of Government agencies, academicians, and heads of NGOs.

TLCMUN I 2010 a success!

2010-08-05T17:33:00.000-07:00

Day 1 | 30th of July 2010 | Friday

30th July, 13:00 hours, Malaysian time exactly, marked a great day in Taylor’s University College Lakeside Campus history. Its very own TLCMUN officially opened the First Annual Session of Model United Nations Conference. The weather was cool and atmosphere exciting as hundreds of Secondary and University students descended to the beautiful Taylor’s Lakeside Campus’ grounds. The registration booth was crowded with delegates and Chairs as they collected their name tags and door gifts.

The opening ceremony was held in LT12; a beautiful lecture theatre with a breathtaking view of the ‘Taylors Lake’. The conference was officially opened and swung into motion by her honourable Secretary General, TLCMUN’s very own, Audrey Ser. Also to officiate the opening of the conference were speeches by TLCMUN’s teacher advisor Mr. Lai Mun Onn, the keynote speaker for the day Mr. Rahul Ramachandran, and performances by the Taylor’s Lakeside Campus Symphony Band.

the people (girls) who made it happen.

After the opening ceremony, the large group of delegates attending the conference went into their respective committees namely Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL) and the Security Council (SC).

custom-made TLCMUN cupcakes for all participants

The first day involved the delegates introducing their countries as well as giving their stance on the topics at hand. After that, lobbying sessions were under way. These sessions allowed the delegates to come up with draft resolutions which were later sent to the Approval Panel, consisting of the Secretary General and other Advisors, for approval.

Day 2 | 31st of July 2010 | Saturday

31st July, buzzed at the Taylors Lakeside campus, the voices of several delegates, challenging, amending, boycotting, rejecting, passing and basically debating the draft resolutions.

lobbying sessions

This went on throughout the day. Although the delegates did take a breather from the intense debating sessions for lunch breaks, but they were right back to tearing though the resolutions after the breaks. A few were passed from all committees on the same day; others were pushed forward for discussion on the next day.

Day 3 | 1st of August 2010 | Sunday

The next day, the sessions in the respective committees, i.e. ECOSOC, SPECPOL and Security Council continued from where it was left off at the end of the second day until all resolutions were debated amongst the delegates and chairs. It was the last day of the conference, which marked the end of the debating sessions where some resolutions had been passed while others rejected.

As the sessions neared to completion, the organizers prepared for the closing ceremony. The closing ceremony started off with a speech by the keynote speaker, Dr. Markus Petsche, a senior lecturer from Taylor’s Law School. The closing ceremony also featured short speeches from various parties including the Head of Administrative Staff, Public Relations Director, Chairs, Deputy Chairs, and school representatives.

Certificates and souvenirs were then presented to teacher advisors, the Chairs, and the delegates by Dr. Markus Petsche, TLCMUN’s Teacher Advisor Mr. Lai Mun Onn, and the Secretary General Audrey Ser respectively, to recognize the best speakers, most passionate and most diplomatic delegates, as well as the others’ participation in the conference.

The closing ceremony ended with a heartfelt speech by the Secretary General, who also brought down her gavel to officiate the closing of the TLCMUN conference 2010.

The delegates were guided to the location where the photo-taking session was to take place.

For all who attended the TLCMUN conference 2010, it will be agreed that the youth present at the conference surely rocked the house down. From basic facts to overall passion for topics to impeccable communication skills, this was a conference to be remembered.

Bravo to TLCMUN for organizing such a memorable event; defined by the overflowing supply of yummy cupcakes and food, the beautiful sceneries, and the overall ‘on-point’ organization.

"Beauties Unified" - BIOTHERM

2010-06-03T22:15:00.000-07:00

On the 2^nd of June 2010, Biotherm was invited to set up a road show, an exhibition of their brand and products from 12.00pm to 2.00pm in front of Student Development Hub.

Booths and counters were assembled the previous day to avoid last minute preparations. Student ambassadors were chosen earlier on to help attract the crowd and to promote the items. Skincare consultants and employees from Biotherm’s marketing department were also present. Throughout the day, games were played and prizes won. At the same time, it was made known that a tutorial will be held the next day.

On the 3^rd of June 2010, the same team of consultants made their way to LT12 at 1.30pm. Organizers of the event had extended a helping hand to carry huge boxes of products, buntings, flyers, and all that was necessary. They immediately got to work to get all their materials into its rightful place.

Around 2.15pm, the theater was filled with participants and no time was wasted. A consultant began to introduce herself and shared a summary of the Biotherm’s history. The first fact that was imparted was that everyone’s skin is different and it must be discovered what suits it best.

This tutorial focused mainly on the four basic steps of skincare regimen. Participants were instructed and encouraged to get a firsthand experience by involving and practicing on themselves. Initially, participants were given wipes to clean their faces from dirt.

Next, they used a cleanser to wash their faces. A cooling clay mask is then applied and left on for 5 minutes. The clay mask was removed by water and the last step was to moisturize. Throughout this process, participants were aided by consultants who were simultaneously explaining the benefits of doing so.

The tutorial ended with a question and answer session. This effectively covers tips, reviews on alternate products and treatments and other general skincare. By 3.30pm, the theater was cleaned and everything was returned to its original positions.

"Beauties Unified" - Majolica Majorca, SHISEIDO

2010-06-02T22:15:00.000-07:00

On the 2nd of June 2010 in LT12 from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm. Majolica Majorca, Shiseido was invited to give a workshop on the importance of applying makeup and to impart the tricks of the trade.

At 1.40 pm, beauty consultants and professional make-up artists from Shiseido entered our lecture theater. Our attention was immediately captured by their beautiful appearances and smart dressing. After a round of introductions, they got to work and displayed their range of products which they found was suitable for us.

Participants began to fill the lecture theater and soon after, the workshop was in full swing. The consultants started by focusing on the importance to applying make-up and the difference it will make. Colours which are often mismatched when choosing foundation, blusher, and eye shadow were also discussed.

Next, technical skills were displayed on a projector and steps were emphasized to help participants remember how and where to apply make-up. To keep the ball rolling, a volunteer was chosen amongst the participants for a demonstration. A professional makeup artist repeated the step while demonstrating again how it is done.

Due to active responses from the participants, the session ended much later compared to the schedule. In addition to that, the team decided to stay a little longer to ensure that all questions were answered. At the same time, participants came up close and personal to gain advice in order to satisfy their individual needs.

Displays of free gift and colourful posters attracted students as well as staff members to the booth like moths to a flame. Soon enough, a vast number of students gathered around the area to feed their curiosity. As organizers of the event, we aided the team by handing out feedback forms to those who are interested in knowing more.

They were then directed to the demonstration booth. The effectiveness and superior qualities of Laurier’s product were witness by all during a live demonstration that was performed by a salesperson.

Here is an extract from the published report on SEASACMUN III titled 'A Matter of Personal Importance' by Jonathan Yee

"Although it has only been two days, much has certainly happened. Resolutions were passed, food was gobbled and numbers were exchanged. With all that has been going on, it gets difficult to remember the details, so here's a quick recap: The opening ceremony was kicked off by an orchestra performance of an Argentinean tango.

This was followed by a quick video presentation by Nurliza Auni, highlighting the key topics of discussion. This brought focus on the main aims of the UN, which are, to keep peace throughout the world, to develop friendly relations between nations, to work together to help people live better lives, to eliminate poverty, disease and illiteracy in the world, to stop environmental destruction and to encourage respect for each other's rights and freedoms."

There were 7 committees in this conference namely; Security Council, Human Rights, Economic and Social (ECOSOC), Polotical, Environment 1, Environment 2 and General Assembly. All in which were participated by institutions comprising ofBangkok Patana School, British International School, Canadian International School of Hong Kong, Garden International School, International School of Yangon, Mont' Kiara International School, New International School of Thailand, Ruamrudee International School, Surabaya International School, Surabaya, The Alice Smith School, Taylor's Lakeside Campus of Taylor's University College, Sri Garden Kuala Lumpurand United World College of South East Asia.
