The Sinaut Eco Campus Project was implemented under the community project cluster in conjunction with the 38th National Day.
The initiative, organised by the Halalan Thayyiban Student Society and Halalan Thayyiban Research Centre, served to preserve the environment and aimed to promote tree-planting activities and volunteerism among students.
