Introduction Projek Kalsom is a motivational programme for Form 4 students who have excelled in their
studies but come from less fortunate backgrounds. It is run by an independent committee
made up of Malaysian students enrolled in local and overseas universities. This project is
organized by Kelab Kalsom in collaborative with United Kingdom and Eire Council for
Malaysian Students (UKEC), FilemDuaTayar Studio and Curtin E-Fact. This project has been
endorsed by Kementerian Belia dan Sukan in 2011. The programme runs for approximately
one week.
Projek Kalsom
The name ‘Kalsom’ was adopted from an earlier initiative in the 90s.
Puan Kelthom Abdullah was a single mother struggling to make ends meet in Kelantan. Her
children were forced to drop out of school, and her plight was given some media attention
in 1993. Upon reading about her in the papers, a group of young Malaysian students in the
UK decided to run a collection to help bear the education cost of her children.
For the initial group of students, it was not enough to merely collect money. They decided
to take it a step further, spurred on by the conviction that they had a greater role to play.
They decided that given their youth, and being students themselves, they were in an
excellent position to help encourage and assist students from lesser-developed parts of
Malaysia to excel in their studies. And so, during their summer holidays in the following year,
they ran a motivational camp for the students of Jerantut, Pahang. It proved successful, and
they decided to run it again the following year in Grik, Perak.
Projek Kalsom has since been held annually, growing from strength to strength, and is now
run with the full support of the Malaysian High Commission in London, the Ministry of
Education, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Projek Kalsom 18 Motivational Camp Overview The Projek Kalsom 18 motivational camp was held at the Kampung Sukan Petronas, Miri,

The 31 facilitators of Projek Kalsom 18 were selected from a wide variety of universities and

students with as large a collection of perspectives, information and solutions as possible. For

Canada, Japan, Egypt and Malaysia. Out of 31, 24 studied in overseas institutions and 7
