They will be lodged at the UKM campus here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr Siti Noorbaiyah said GloEd chose Malaysia to be the host of the summer camp because of its quality of education and widespread use of English. It is an important contribution of UKM to the country\u2019s Education Tourism sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The summer camp will have intensive English lessons and cultural programmes with English as the medium of instruction. The training programme will be conducted by UKM Talent Enhancement Academy, a subsidiary of UNIPEQ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hafiz Lee who arrived here some 20 years ago and decided to make Malaysia his home said not many Koreans know how friendly and peaceful Malaysia is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said working with UNIPEQ would be interesting since the company\u2019s core business is not educational tourism but is actually a food quality and safety R&amp;D entity established in\u00a0May 1994 and incorporated in 2009.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UKM has been hosting several other summer camp programmes, such as the Asia-Europe Cross-Cultural Summer Academy and a programme for Japanese students similar to the one slated for the Koreans.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2014\/SummerKorea2.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"leftblock\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUESDAY, 01 APRIL 2014 15:47 By Saiful Bahri Kamaruddin Pix Ikhwan Hashim BANGI, 28 Mar 2014 \u2013 A UKM Holdings<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/tahun-2014\/april-2014\/ukm-to-host-first-summer-camp-for-korean-youths-in-malaysia\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5272,"parent":1110,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5269","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5269"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5274,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5269\/revisions\/5274"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1110"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
