ABSTRACT: As a young, gifted education institution, Kolej PERMATA Insan strives to
make its presence felt in the academic landscape in this country and the
region. This study explores the internationalisation programs that have been
conducted by the college and discovers the participants’ experience in their
journey in some of the programs they joined. Their personal insights helped
enlighten the effectiveness of the organised internationalisation programs in
shaping their mind and understanding on cultural values of the place and people
they visited. This paper analysed their individual reflections shared in the
form of written journal, reports, and videos. In their own words, the students
had been incredibly positive with their involvement in the programs as they
valued the pristine environment, system and culture which were considered
refreshing and tantalising to their conscience and awareness. This new form of
learning was positively welcome by all participants as it successfully provided
those lessons never imagined from their typical student’s life in school. Their
experience from the programs they joined would be valuable knowledge and skills
that will stay with them in the years to come.
