SUBANG JAYA | Taylor’s Business School Society (TBSS) organised an event called ‘The Halloween Carnival 2016’ as the first and largest charity fundraiser project on 22 October. Featuring a popular horror TV series, American Horror Story (AHS) as their theme, the carnival aimed to form a socially sustainable society by developing intelligent networking between Taylor’s Business School (TBS) students and external organisations such as social enterprises, clubs, societies and personal booth sellers with all the proceeds given to the beneficiary of the 100% Project. ​ 100% Project is involved with the education of Malaysia, providing funds for under-privileged schools, teachers and students. “TBSS organised this event to train its students on how to plan events in large scales and getting them exposed to the job scope of various business related fields such as marketing, finance, public relations and logistics,” said Director of Public Relations of The Halloween Carnival, Priyalini Vikneswaran, 19. She added that this event helped improve TBS students’ portfolios as they would gain a wider scope of valuable knowledge that would be useful for their future careers. TBSS Secretary, Siti Nur Azureen Azlam bt. Abdul Aziz, 20 supported the statement by saying that the event would be a great opportunity for networking, as students will also get to work with different business societies from various colleges and universities, which the committee had contacted for liaisons and promotion purposes. “Students involved in this event would get a taste of what future employers are looking for,” she said. Director of Partnership of the event, Nur Alisya Jan bt. Mohamed Ali Khan, 21, said that the carnival provides a platform for TBS students to apply what they learnt in class to achieve better understanding and gain insights about industries they were interested in. The man-made haunted asylum was the highlight of the event, as students dressed in various AHS characters, haunting the attendees as they play in the asylum built fully with recyclable materials. Around 60 students volunteered to manage the carnival, placed at designated locations such as the amphitheatres, university square, lecture theatres and the game booths. The helpers do not consists of students from TBS alone, but also Scholars and Shiners. Scholar hours are deducted while Shiners are able to collect shine points. Moreover, chosen local students from different universities, clubs and societies performed at the event. The organising committee tried to make this event as mutually beneficial for all parties as possible. ​ “We would like to be optimistic and hope that next term’s TBS would organise something bigger that would impact society greater as well as themselves,” said Nur Alisya Jan.
