Burger Festival: I Eat Burger
By M. PRIYADASHINI
PETALING JAYA Burger enthusiast Oliver
Jonanan, 29, said he was struck with fear
when the 1kg burger was placed in front of
him and the other contestants during the I Eat
Burger burger eating competition on June 7.
First of its kind, I Eat Burger brought top 20
burger vendors from Klang Valley who
opened up stalls and showed off their
masterpieces to a crowd of almost 700 people.
With a coupon booklet worth RM20, the
crowd could get their favourite burgers - from
the gourmet kind to ones that can be found on
the streets such as Burger Bakar.
The CEO of Friendchillies.com Adly Rizal said
after their success of I Eat Nasi Lemak last
year, they thought about what Malaysians
would love next and they decided on burgers.
With a smile on his face, an I Eat Burger crew
grills patties to keep crowd well fed.
Burger vendors worked tirelessly for 12 hours
preparing meals for the crowd.
Abdul Fhatab, 32, who works for Ayer Rock
Butcher & Grill said, Our Halal meat comes
from Australia and what makes us
outstanding is we serve steak as burgers.
Theatre director, K.Vijaymanisegar, 32 said,
My favourite burger was Mans Burger
Kukus Lava, especially the Mr Krabs burger.
It looked really appealing and it tasted even
better than it looked.
He also added that even though the line to get
his favourite burger was long, it was worth it.
Manager of I Eat Burger Honey Ahmad said
the event was definitely a success and they are
looking forward to bring bigger and better
events such as this for the public.
Student Council Calls for
More Convenient Parking
By MICHELLE CHONG
PETALING JAYA Taylors Universitys
Student Council (TUSC) had asked the
campus management to designate a sheltered
waiting area within Zone H Parking to help
arriving students find parking space.
The councils Campus Welfare Director,
Joshua Chieng Lie Yang, said they have
suggested to the management to provide the
waiting area so arriving students could send
departing students to their cars, then take
over their parking spots.
He added that this move would help
to alleviate the parking problem in the
Lakeside Campus.
There is not much the management could do
in terms of increasing parking space, so the
council suggested this to make finding
parking easier.
This issue has been around for years, and the
campus has reached the maximum capacity of
3000 parking spaces, said Chieng in
Chieng said based on a Food Court
Satisfaction Survey launched by the student
council, they summarised that the price of
food does not match up to the portion.
He added that the optimum price range
requested by students is between RM4
and RM6.
According to Chieng, TUSC was not able to
meet the food court management. Hence, no
negotiations were made about the food prices.
The issues of deficient parking and high food
court prices were highlighted by TUSCs The
Voice Campaign, which aimed to gain
feedback on the issues affecting students
campus life.
The proposed solutions are currently pending
consideration from Taylors respective
departments. Students can still voice their
issues about campus life at the Student
Council Office, which is open every Tuesday
from 12pm to 2pm.
Charity Drive Target: 45k to Be
Donated to Charity Organisations
By NURUL FATIN ABD AZIZ
PETALING JAYA We are targeting a total
of RM 45,000 to be donated to charity
organisations, said School of Architecture,
Building, and Design Lecturer Chang Jau Ho
during a charity drive held on June 5 at
Taylors University.
Chang added that the students from
The Foundation in Natural and Built
Environment (FNBE) sold various
assortments of products at the drive, in order
to raise funds for their selected charity non-
governmental organisations.
During the five-day charity event, 1 Donation
1 Love Calendar 2015 proved to have been the
biggest attraction and bestseller.
We created this calendar for our final project
which features Taylors students as the cover
an interview after a Student Welfare
Committee Meeting.
He added that Taylors has the biggest
parking capacity compared to surrounding
universities such as Sunway University and
Monash University.
Chieng said the management encourages
students to use other transportation options
such as the shuttle buses and carpooling. They
are also hoping that a pedestrian link to the
upcoming train station BRT Sunway Line will
reduce the parking problem.
In the meeting, TUSC also suggested food
subsidies by the School of Culinary Arts for
student-run restaurants like Temptation and
Tiffin as an alternative to the higher food
prices at the campus food court, The Arena.
In addition to that, they proposed the
installation of an open pantry at the food
court with microwave ovens for students who
bring food from home.
models, said Pua Yu Qing, 18, a student from
FNBE, one of the organisers involved.
With the belief that Smile and Give can light
up some peoples world, 1 Donation 1 Love
Calendar portrayed pictures of the models.
Being an ex Taylorian myself, I feel honoured
to be a part of this project and at
least contributed something from it,
said Amanda Liu Ming Na, 22, a graduate
from Communication and Media
Management, fashion blogger, and featured
model on the calendar.
Liu also added that she believed
that the FNBE students did a great
effort in contributing to the society
and helping to raise funds for the
charity organisations and NGOs.
Pua further added that unlike other
groups, they chose to give their profits
to Tzu Chi Foundation to provide relief
and hope to victims of war and drought
in Taiwan.
Tzu Chi Foundation has looked after and
upon many unfortunate people. They brought
happiness and kept hope alive in everyones
heart, said Yu, explaining the sincerity
and kindness of their chosen
charity organisation.
Among other chosen charity organisations
were Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (SPCA), Pusat Penjagaan Kanak
Kanak Cacat Taman Megah (PPKKC), and
Rumah Bakti Association.
