On 16 june 2023, the Library Community Engagement at Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak (PTAR), Universiti Teknologi MARA Pulau Pinang (UiTMCPP) Branch, Permatang Pauh Campus, came alive with the vibrant voices of the university students participating in the live public speaking event, Speak Up@PTAR with Ms Marni Jamil (Speak Up@PTAR). This event, organised by PTAR UiTMCPP, aimed to improve communication skills creatively while providing a platform for university students to express their views on various topics under the guidance of Ms Marni Jamil, a lecturer from the Academy of Language Studies, UiTMCPP. The event captivated an audience of UiTMCPP staff and students from 8.00 a.m. to10.00 a.m., as 12 undergraduate participants enthusiastically presented their viewpoints on various topics in a responsible, fact-based, and respectful manner. These students proved that they were able to think critically and articulate their wonderful ideas and opinions with confidence by highlighting a wide array of subjects, encompassing technology, legal matters, business, health, and other current topics. In addition, the significance of extensive reading became apparent via the content of their speeches, motivating everyone present to venture into reliable information sources and cultivate a habit of reading for personal development. The event provided a safe and inclusive avenue for university students to share their perspectives, which brilliantly encouraged intellectual discourse and fostered an environment where diverse perspectives were respected and valued.
