Final year advanced diploma students of Mass Communications, majoring in Public Relations and Media Studies, recently collaborated with A  Cut Above Academy to organise a fund-raising haircut themed "A Cut Above Charity" to benefit Hospis Malaysia.

YB Chua Tee Yong, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry, officiated campaign and donated to the three-day event held at the KL Campus College Hall which saw a huge response with each haircut priced at only RM 10.

Various games and activities were also conducted alongside the haircuts, such as MONOpportunity (which featured a life-size monopoly set) and the Bald Challenge which saw the Head of School of Social Science and Humanities, Mr Lee Hwee Chuin, along with six other volunteers shaving their heads for charity on the last day.
