The club had
been hosting an event each year either an exhibition or competition. Their
event this year was a two day photo exhibition with the theme “Malaysia Negaraku” and came with a competition and two slide shows included.

| ..culture, identity, nature and lifestyle |
Fifty six participants
took part with each having to submit three photos each reflecting on the theme
be it culture, identity, nature and lifestyle.
The event held
at STG Café Oldtown was well patronized on both days and was a great exhibition.
